Thanks to the cooperative efforts of the faculty, staff and students who participated in this year’s Opening Week, the new students had a positive experience. It takes a campus community to carry out these events for new students, and new student programs couldn’t have done it with your help. Developing early relationships with students, staff and faculty are instrumental in helping students make a successful transition to college life. Opening Week also establishes realistic academic expectations for new students and provides programs that promote academic success. New student programs would like thank everyone involved in Opening Week and looks forward to working with you in 2016.
