Citation preview
Hey Ambassadors!
It’s finally my favorite time of the year:
summer – the time of ice cream, beaches,
and Fall Welcome! Want to hear something
crazy!? There are only 100 days between
you and Fall Welcome Week! #getpumped
If you didn’t know, the FYE office is
bursting at the seams with exciting things
going on - the First-Year Seminar Program
just had their training and Transfer Student
Services are just beginning their orientation.
Have you met the cool people that run
those programs?! If you haven’t, keep
reading to get to know them!
While they are out doing their thing, we are
in Ellsworth doing ours, planning for
training & Fall Welcome Week. And as much
as we love sitting in here ordering t-shirts
and giveaways… it gets lonely! Come stop by our office! We promise to make it
worth it!
Until next time,
Fall Welcome Lead Team

“Ambassadors, be your best now! If not now, when? Put your best self forward, the life that you choose to live will only benefit others when you are at your best. So bring your "A" game---your best self. You never heard someone say to you, "hey I want your worst". Choose to be your best!”

She is extremely clumsy (tripping at least 3 times a day), she hates chocolate, and she lived
in North Carolina for half of her life.
“Remember, not all first year students are freshmen. They may be transfer students or just students who have traveled a longer journey in
their education. Also, during Fall Welcome, have fun and make memories that you and your
students won't forget.”

Has been working with transfer students since June 2007, teaches an FYS class for KVCC students planning to transfer to WMU, and works with Fall Welcome to coordinate Transfer Express sessions.
“Ambassadors, enjoy this experience. I still remember my orientation leader from a number of years ago. Students really look up to you as peers and experienced students of WMU. Don’t just stop with Fall Welcome. Reach out to your students at least once in the fall semester to just check-in. It could really make the difference for that one student.”
