An introduction to Blackboard, getting students to take a math placement test prior to orientation, submit required immunization forms along with an introduction to information like how to access their online bill and what kind of traditions are available for new students to enjoy are examples of practices and procedures that new Sycamores need to learn through Sycamoreology . The idea of an online orientation, or an early process to orient students to the policies and history of our university was also an underlying goal. find hidden Sycamore leaves, key words, and phrases among our materials including, but not limited to, the New Student Orientation Invitation, Orientation Resource Guide, Fall Welcome Program, Sycamore Express web site, and many other university sites 1
T-shirts Book awards Nook, shopping spree Student wages Print costs – shared with NSTP 4
3,171 students introduced to Blackboard well before their first semester began 25 book scholarships each fall 5
Too difficult for students to find leaves, eliminate the other leaves (student activities, immunizations, bookstore, athletics, etc ) Student assistant is key to our success of tracking, communicating and engaging students, etc 6

Original concept was a collaboration between NSTP and Sycamore Express team. All communication, activities, etc are built around NSO and Fall Welcome – would make most sense for this initiative to be funded as part of the NSTP budget and allow that office leadership and day-to-day management. 10

Ease transition to classes by providing stress-free experience in Bb…one less thing a student needs to worry about is where to find the syllabus, post a question, email instructor, etc Portal – use it, trust it, KNOW what is there 8
Pulled together pilot year within a couple of months, felt confident that we accomplished what we set out to do BUT recognize that we need to build something for transfers Launched spring 14 with both T and F – nightmare on which leaf was for what audience etc PLUS transfers just did not participate Fall 15 version ( Sycamoreology 2.0) is applicable to any student and may be just what is needed for Transfers to engage 9
