From the fabulous and indefatigable Ellen Goldberg:
Hello distinguished colleagues!
I am pleased to announce that the New Student Welcome Reception is Monday from 2-3:30 in room 103! 🙂
Thanks so much for agreeing to participate or to mention it to your students! 🙂 I appreciate the help! I am sending this to the Faculty, Academic Departments, Participating Offices, Instructors of SENCER Cohorts, Instructors in the URC Program, and College Success Instructors! 🙂 Please forward it to anyone that I may have missed! 🙂 I would also love it if you could put it on your blogs (Harold Lounge!) and on Blackboard as announcements to your students or simply announce it on Monday! 🙂 We would love to have a stellar turnout! 🙂

Financial Aid Office/ Veteran’s ServicesI ask that someone from your department stay the entire time from 2:00-3:30 on Monday in room 102. The students will be instructed to participate in a BINGO Activity, and I will give all of you stickers to give them when they come to your table. I would say that it’s up to you about how you want to distribute the stickers. You can tell them some information or have them ask you one question about your department. The student last semester really got into the BINGO game! Those who fill out the entire card can win a Candy Bar until they run out! 🙂
Thanks so much for your department’s participation! 🙂 I appreciate it! 🙂
If you have any questions, let me know. I will be running around on Monday so feel free to reach me on my cell at 773-330-5413.
Also, please encourage new and returning students to attend. Studies have shown that students who are connected to campus are more likely to graduate! 🙂
Have a great day! I appreciate you and the students do too! 🙂
