A3: Communication with Ts, Ss, and Ps! I think both Ss and Ps are nervous during the transition. #mtedchat

kellyhaydenmt May 31 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A3: 5th Ss visit MS for 1/2 day for an orientation to prep for the transition. Ss eat lunch, open locks, meet VP & P. It helps! #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator May 31 @ 10:33 PM EDT

@NVradenburg I remember spending the day following a person around when I transitioned from 6th to 7th. It made me feel better #mtedchat
