Dear Parent: 
We hope that you will be joining your son or daughter at UVI for the Fall 2009 New and Transfer 
Student Orientation activities, which will take place from Monday, August 10, 2009 through Friday, 
August 14, 2009 on the St. Thomas Campus.  During orientation you are invited to participate in 
several of the activities that are planned for new students as well as the workshops that are organized 
for parents.   
The sessions for parents are designed to provide information and answer questions relative to your 
son or daughter’s education and are highlighted in green on the Fall 2009 Student Orientation 
Program enclosed.   We ask that you make an effort to attend these sessions. 
In addition, if you will need housing and meal accommodations during your stay, there are several 
hotels located in close proximity to the University that are listed in the orientation booklet.  The 
University does not provide housing for parents or siblings.    
If you are planning to dine with your son or daughter, you can purchase meal tickets at the Sports 
and Fitness Center during orientation.  Prices for the tickets are as follows. 
Breakfast is $6.00 
Lunch is $10.00 
Please contact the Office of the Associate Campus Administrator at (340) 693-1120 if you desire 
additional information.  
Again, we look forward to seeing you at the New Student Orientation.   
Sincerely, 
 
D.C. Battiste, Ed.D
