For Tuesday, September 5 September 4, 2023

FYs,

Gaines residents go to Lenfest: Wilson Theater (Workday for Registration) at 10am and Leyburn Library (Academic Fair) at 11am.
Graham-Lees residents go to Leyburn Library (Academic Fair) at 10am and Lenfest: Wilson Theater (Workday for Registration) at 11am.

Being in the right place at the right time is necessary to everyone fitting in the theater and having space and time to explore all the tables at the academic fair.

Your initial faculty adviser should have provided you guidance about when and where to meet on Tuesday between 1-3:30pm. Please reach out to them if they have not and go to their office unless you hear otherwise.

Get Downtown begins at the semi-circle porch in front of Graham-Lees. Your tour time is indicated in the attached document. Please arrive a few minutes before your assigned time to meet your tour guide. The walking tour of downtown lasts approximately 45 minutes. Over 40 local vendors are staying open late to welcome you to Lexington. Wear comfortable shoes for walking and you may want a water bottle. If you have mobility concerns, please check with your RA for an alternative option. Don't forget to eat dinner in the Marketplace between 4:30-7:15pm.

Please be on time for the Law Enforcement Panel at 7:30pm in Keller Theater to hear briefly from student leaders, Public Safety, Lexington Police, and the Rockbridge Sheriff.

Immediately following the panel, head to the Commons Casino. FYOC will transform Elrod Commons with roulette, craps, and a serpentine bar on the newly opened main floor; black jack, poker, and other card games in the Marketplace; karaoke in Stackhouse Theater; and trivia in Commons 216. Welcome to Lex Vegas!

If you're seeking to audition for wind ensemble, orchestra, jazz ensemble, choirs, dance, or theater - please check the full orientation schedule for options and mark your calendar accordingly.

The full Orientation Week schedule is at https://my.wlu.edu/student-life/first-year-experience/arrivals-and-orientation/orientation-week-schedule.

A handout detailing information about the stops you saw on Perspectives is attached for future reference.

Sincerely,

FYE Team - Dean Rodocker, Dean Bryant, Dean Hodge, and Mariel Potter
