Buckle up for round 2, Thomasians!
Tiger Media Network is back as they host the Thomasian Homecoming 2022 tomorrow, August 23 Tuesday. This event is for the sophomores and juniors, who for the past two years, are yet to experience the university's traditional welcoming rites. Look forward to an eventful lineup as the program will include: fun and interactive booths, the ever-so-loud ROARientation, and the much-anticipated Homecoming Walk. So get ready to tie your shoelaces and prepare your loudest roars because the Thomasian Homecoming 2022 is approaching.

Similar to the freshmen week held earlier this month, ROARientation 2022 will also be held this coming 23rd of August at the Quadricentennial Pavilion Arena. The event will include a variety of jam-packed activities such as an opening number, interactive games, several live performances, and a batch dance. Through the many activities to be held, ROARientation 2022 aims to establish the historical and cultural significance of the university—aside from its success as an academic institution—among our sophomore and junior students.
This event will be held in three batches. The first batch is to be held at exactly 9:00AM., the second at 1:00PM, and the third at 5:00PM. For those who won't be able to make it, you can still tune in on Tiger TV's official Facebook page and at UST's official FB page as the event will be livestreamed there.
Don't forget to engage yourself with the programs to avoid missing out on exciting prizes that will be adequately rewarded to the active members of the audience, especially during the game segments.

Following the ROARientation is the Thomasian Homecoming Walk, an age-old tradition for newcomers to the university where they enter the Arch of Centuries, signifying a new chapter in their lives as Thomasians. Considering how the sophomore and junior students were unable to enter the Arch of Centuries during the pandemic, they are now given the chance to experience this once-in-a-lifetime event.
Likewise, this would also be livestreamed over at UST Tiger TV's Facebook page and will be shared by the official FB page of UST. The walk will be divided into three batches, one at 11:00 AM, another at 2:30 PM, and lastly at 6:30 PM. Each student will enter the Arch of the Centuries according to their respective colleges or faculties. Check your society's official page to learn which batch you are a part of or refer you may refer to this post.
TMN ON-GROUND: TREASURING THE THOMASIAN EXPERIENCE
Last but not the least, Tiger Media Network invites sophomore and junior students to experience and become introduced to the official student-produced media platforms offered at UST—Tiger TV and Tiger Radio.
TMN plans to set up four booths, each with its own unique set of gimmicks, to offer an interactive introduction to its media platforms:
