The opening weekend PIECES program is returning this year and needs faculty and staff volunteers to help orient the new first year students.
The PIECES (Providing Ithaca Experiences Connecting Every Student) program will be returning for opening weekend again this fall. The program helps first year students begin to connect to the College and to their class as a whole. Students have the opportunity to meet and talk with other new students, learn to sing the alma mater, learn about IC history and sign a class banner.
We are looking for faculty and staff volunteers to help with this program again. We would prefer that volunteers to be available 11:00 am-3:30 pm on Sunday, August 21, but will also work with individuals who are available for part of that time. The role of volunteers will be to facilitate conversation within a group of 10-12 students as they participate in the various activities. This is a great opportunity to get to know some of our new students!
If you are interested in working with this program, please contact Darese Doskal-Scaffido in the Office of Residential Life at [mailto:ddoskal@ithaca.edu]. This program is sponsored by the Office of Residential Life and Judicial Affairs, the Office of First Year Programs and Orientation, the Office of Alumni Relations, and the Division of Student Affairs and Campus Life.
