Senior Staff!

Here is the Team! These are the people that have been working countless hours to prepare for your arrival! Now that you know who our "student" staff is let me introduce you to our Senior Staff!


    First we have Charli who is our WONDERFUL Graduate Intern from Boston College. She is awesome, always full of energy and is really good at making us (student's) look at things differently. We are super glad that she is here and can not wait for you all to meet her!


    O'Malley. His real name is John but most of the people around here call him O'Malley. During the school year he is a Resident Director, but during the summer we are very fortunate to have him apart of our Orientation Senior Staff. If you are ever looking for a good laugh or some solid advice he is the go to man!


    Our Glue. Jen is officially the Coordinator of Student Affairs, but we like to call her the glue. She has worked really hard to keep everything on track even though we have been going through a hard transition. She is very smart and makes everyone laugh! We are very lucky to have her on our team to help keep the peace and hold all of us together and on track!! (hence the glue).


    Finally the last but certainly no the least member of our team is Brian. Brian's official title is Director of Orientation and First Year Initiatives but really he will be our fearless leader! Brian is new to the team like most of us and we are all really excited for him to be here...even though he is not in Denver yet (he is moving from Washington state)! 


    Today was one of our last days to "get work done", and did we ever. Personally I can say that I stuffed every single one or your name tags (even though I had to redo them all because I had originally done them upside down....), finished a few sessions, finished a publication for you all and took a few pictures. We got a lot done today! The finish line is near and after our haul today we are even more prepared for that finish line.
    Make sure you catch tomorrow's blog post! It will have a lot of Orientation Session 1 related information like what to bring, when to check in and all that fun stuff. 


Until then amigo's!
