Whether you will be on campus or elsewhere during Monday morning’s solar eclipse, please remember to follow safety measures to enjoy the phenomenon without harming your eyes. Looking at the sun without eye protection can cause serious eye damage or blindness. Please be sure to only view the eclipse with approved solar-viewing glasses or through a pinhole projector.

Volunteer for New Student Orientation Fall events and help welcome new students to campus! Events are September 14 and September 18.

This fall we are rolling out a new version of New Student Orientation. The new version has students rotating around campus in different groups to experience the Library, FOSS building resources/departments, and Advising and to hear from a student panel. Students will also attend a computer lab session where they will learn to log on to Canvas, look up their textbooks, and use their Shoreline email. Students will then choose between two other sessions (conference-style!): Financial Aid/Funding and College/Classroom Expectations.

In order to make this a wonderful experience for students, we would love your help! If you are interested, fill out the New Student Orientation Employee Survey: Fall 2017. Anyone who takes the survey can indicate which dates/times they will be available. This will help us communicate logistics in a transparent and efficient way to those who want to participate. Even if you only want to be involved for a small portion of one of the events, anything helps!

For planning purposes, please complete the survey by Fri., August 25. Thank you for considering helping out at this event aimed at getting our students off on the right foot.
