Meet the O-Hosts 2020

Ateneo’s Freshman Orientation Seminar (OrSem) always tries to live up to its tagline of “No other university does it the way we do.” For this year, hundreds of upperclassmen continue to bring the event to life from the comfort of their respective homes. 

Any event wouldn’t be complete without hosts, and so four fresh and familiar faces grace the online stage for OrSem 2020: Tuloy.
