FAQ’s

How Do I get Placed with a Roommate? And can I request a roommate? One of our staff will place you with a student based on deposit date, you will be paired randomly. You can request a roommate but we can not guar-antee you will get that person. Am I paired automatically with someone from my performing arts field? The pairings are random but we like to try and let students get to know people within other majors, so we attempt to spread out roommates among different programs. Can I live on campus after my freshman year? Yes, it is possible but we guarantee housing to first year stu-dents and then once spaces become available we go to upper classmen.

3) Give students the awareness, knowledge and skills to work with diverse populations.

4) Use their environment to provide opportunities to develop a sense of responsibility to civic

engagement, and the connections that can be made to the performing arts.

A Note from the CCDO President

Campus Activities

and Developing

Leadership in your Major 11

Page

Performance Major Organizations

Within each of the academically connected organizations there will be a three person executive board of juniors that provide students in their freshmen and sophomore year’s experiences to learn within their field of study. The role of these organizations is to mentor and create future leaders at the institution.

This will provide juniors and seniors at the institution to take on leadership roles within their field of study and mentor underclassmen. This will also provide students in their first two years at the institution the opportunity to learn from upperclassmen.

It is important that “peers interact in educationally purposeful ways. 11 Students can get these opportunities in the classroom from faculty but “the role of peers in creating vibrant learning environments cannot be overestimated. Teaching, assisting and evaluating peers places students at the center of their learning experiences. They learn to work as colleagues with faculty mentors and realize they are able to help others learn” 12.

The Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS) stated campus activities programs should provide environments in which students and student organizations are afforded opportunities and assistance to” develop leadership potential, work with different groups of people, enhance communication and critical thinking skills, and “explore activities in individual and group settings for self understanding and growth.” 13.

To all perspective students,

As President of the Capitol City Dance

Organization (CCDO), I am writing to explain what

a wonderful privilege it is to have this organization.

Upon entrance to this school every student is auto-

matically a member and the executive board and

advisor work to place you with an upperclassman

mentor. CCDO, and the other performance based

major organizations work to create leadership

opportunities, collaboration, and help within your

performance art program at CCSPA. Being

President of this organization has not only helped

me to grow as a leader but it has helped me to build

strong relationships with people in my field.

Sincerely,

Ernesto Breton Junior Dance Students Ernesto Breton and

International Student Services and the Study Abroad Office should provide international students an experience that provides them with a feeling of being welcomed and that they matter within the campus community. Study Abroad should provide domestic students with the opportunity to become familiar with and knowledgably about the country they are about to study in. ISSA advisors will provide international students with the tools and knowledge that they need to adjust to the country, city, and campus community. Students will be provided the opportunity to learn aspects within the performing arts that will not merely reflect US ideals, but a more global perspective. It is the goal of this institution to recruit and retain students from all over the world to provide our students with a multicultural experience. The institution also strives to provide opportunities for domestic students to study abroad in a variety of different countries.

-ISSA will provide international students and study abroad students with advisers who will guide them on their process to bring about knowledge of other cultures, awareness and preparation for cultural differences. -Adviser will also help make the connection for all students who use the office to help process the connection between their experiences and the perform-ing arts. Studying Abroad has proven to “increase a students’ intercultural awareness and tolerance” and it also “promotes positive mindedness toward cultural pluralism” 14 -The Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS) stated “international student advisors work with these students providing information, advising, programs, and services designed to make their US experience as positive and productive as possible” 15

Mark Wahlberg is the assistant director for Campus Activi-ties and ISSA and uses the models from other institutions to create CCSPA’s International Student Orientation; he works to not double program for these students -CCSPA “orients new students including an overview of immigration regulations, a visit to the local Social Security Office, and a tour of the city. They also “teach them about relevant cultural issues in the United States, including how people interact socially, where to live, and how to find transportation as well as helping create a sense of commu-nity with international students.” 16
