“Orientation was an incredible experience! My student and I were nervous, but excited. After just a few minutes of being in Tate, we knew we were in good hands. The wave of people who helped us feel connected and at home was tremendous! From the Resource Fair to the various presentations, the staff were professional, helpful, and encouraging! While the transition to college will still be a challenge, I am more confident than ever that it is going to be ok, and she will have everything she needs to be successful!”
