What’s up, Ambassadors!?

This year Fall Welcome is doing something new!

We are going to have Ambassador Captains. You

all will be in groups of about 20 ambassadors and

each group will have an Ambassador Captain. The

Ambassador Captains are here for you guys – to

be a resource, to answer questions, and be a

mentor during Fall Welcome Week. They just

went through training this past weekend and are

very excited! Soon we will let you know which

Captain you will be working with throughout the

week, but until we let you know that, get to know

them – they are pretty cool people!

Here in the Fall Welcome office we’ve been crazy

busy! We are in full on planning mode. We have

also been working with the cool Orientation Team

(we’ll introduce them later) because Orientation

started this month! You’ll see us posting a lot about it.

Hit us up if you need anything,
