No Day But Today!!

Training Day 4
So today is Friday and we had a short day today!! We started the day bright and early at 8:30 am (for summer that is early lol) we decided to get us to wake up a little we needed to do an energizer!! We played bang bang your dead and a super model game!

Then we had the privilege to have an informative session with the Director the Center for Academic Support (CAS) Kecia Leland. She explained to us all the different tools that her department offers to make students JWU experience as easy as possible such as: free tutoring, writing center, academic counseling, and much more! She then wanted us to make sure that all students and their families feel as comfortable as possible during orientation and had us learn all the easiest access points to all the buildings on campus.  

Next we learned a little bit about some communication skills and how important it is to know that even though we may understand and perceive something one way that new students as yourselves may not perceive it the same way. This is important for us as orientation leaders to make sure that all students truly understand the material that we are giving them. SO DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS!!!!

See you all soon!
