When we arrived on campus we first went to get our photos for our student ID cards taken. I think mine came out pretty scary.

After our orientation photos were taken we saw a very special orientation film to get us acquainted with Monsters University. Here is the latest trailer for Monsters University. Our special film was actually the first forty minutes of the Monsters University movie, plus the short film The Blue Umbrella. In the orientation movie we were introduced to a couple of superstar freshmen, James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski. I was lucky enough to have a photo taken with the guys, too.

After the orientation movie there was an opening reception where I was able to mingle with the other students as well as professors like Professor of Monsterous Animation Directing, Dan Scanlon (Director of Monsters University). I spoke with Dan at length about the orientation movie and how much I enjoyed it. He was very down to earth and excited to hear what people thought of it.
