This group will have the highest-level involvement with August orientation planning so please connect with these folks. There will also be opportunities as the semester develops to connect with the steering committee and soon-to-be-formed sub-committees via listening sessions, focus groups, individual meetings, and online survey feedback. We want to ensure there will be plenty of spaces to continue to share your feedback and ideas. 

I want to thank all of the amazing community members who have self-nominated or nominated others, it was uplifting to see so many community members willing to dedicate their time to create the best student experience possible. I also want to note that it was a difficult decision to limit this committee to a manageable and more-nimble number, but I assure you that through sub-committees and open forums, we are striving to have every voice heard.

Thank you,

Kevin Perry,

Associate Director of New Student & Transition Programs

Chair of August Orientation Planning Committee
