About me

Activity

Jae-- This sounds like a great format. Good for you to have your faculty there and participating. Susan
Benny-- The personal conversation accomplished in your intermingling I'm sure go a long way to making students feel at home. Great job. Susan
Shannon-- This is excellent! Susan
Albert-- Offering mentors and mental health are unusual and great services. Great! Susan
Jeff-- Sounds like a great plan. Do you have specific meet and greet activites that you have found most effective? Susan
Dennis-- This sounds excellent! I bet your students appreciate addressing these issues up front in a way that doesn't put them on-the-spot. Great idea! Susan
Kevin-- You are so correct. The entire campus needs to work together to assist students. Intentionally building relationships with people in other departments is very effective. Great job. Susan
Lisa-- This sounds like a great plan. Do you track retention of students by advisor? Susan
Jim-- The 'golden rule' of treating others like we want to be treated...still applies. Good for you! Susan
John-- We did this in just one class that I took and that person and I ended up going through our entire program together...study groups and even took a 'senior' trip! Personally, I found this to be a great exercise for many reasons including the fact that you weren't talking about yourself, but introducing someone else which made it easier in general. Susan
