Fall Welcome Ambassadors
Fall welcome was such an amazing experience! For those of you who have not had the opportunity to be involved in the program, Fall Welcome is a four-day event that assists first year students with their academic and social transitions into college life. Throughout the week students will actively participate in different activities, presentations, seminars connecting them not only with the campus life but the community as well.
I transferred to WMU last fall, and missed fall welcome as an incoming student. So along side with the incoming students this year, this was my first welcome week experience as well. Looking back on all the opportunities in which I missed out on when I was first arriving to the university, I would truly encourage each student to partake in this event.
My overall experience with the program was both exciting and overwhelming at times. Each day before we meant up with our group of students all of us fall welcome ambassadors had morning meetings bright and early around 7:45! After all of the ambassadors were dismissed from meeting it was time to round up the students and begin the day. Each day had a different agenda, packed with interesting activities and presentations such as: stadium night, click downtown, Meijer mania, matriculation ceremony, greek-a-palooza, and so much more.
So fortunate to have had a second opportunity to be involved with fall welcome!
