TWTP Pre-Orientation

The Third World Transition Program (TWTP) is a longstanding pre-orientation program centering the experiences of BIPOC students and beyond. Designed to foster reflection, connection, and collective learning, TWTP offers first-year incoming students the opportunity to begin their Brown journey with intention, support, and community. TWTP is open to all incoming first-year students.

Led by the Brown Center for Students of Color professional staff and a team of dedicated student leaders, TWTP invites participants to explore backgrounds and interests, build meaningful relationships, and engage in critical dialogue about systems of power, resistance, and change.
