FYs,
If you might be interested in being an actor in Voices of W&L next fall, please email Jan Kaufman and express your interest!
Monday it is even more important to be with your hall at the right place at the right time.
Everyone will rotate through three different activities (Perspectives, Bystander Intervention Training, and Traveller/Promise Committee) throughout the day.
Perspectives will involve a walking tour of places you likely have not been yet, but definitely should utilize throughout the year.
- Most stops involve sitting in air-conditioning and there are water fountains along the way to refill water bottles
Bystander Intervention Training will help all of us to further develop the skills and confidence to help our community.
Community Safety will involve local law enforcement, a unique a significant Promise Committee Video, and student leadership explaining the safe-ride system.
*All FYs will board Traveller shuttles for a daylight tour of the route during the session.
Bystander intervention is a primary prevention program aimed to reduce sexual misconduct by engaging the entire community in looking out for one another. Specifically, we teach skills to make it more natural for people to step in or say something when they feel uncomfortable with behavior around them. These skills can be broadly applied to speaking up about a variety of issues, including substance use, mental health concerns, and instances of discrimination. If participating in a session related to sexual misconduct concerns you, please confidentially reach out to Dr. Janet Boller from the Lindley Counseling prior to your session.
The Financial Aid presentations at 5 pm are mandatory for anyone with a scholarship, need-based grant, loan, or work
Swing by the Music Festival on Cannan Green form 7:00-9:30 pm featuring food trucks, live music, and a chance to meet more upper-division students and fellow FYs.

Sincerely,
FYE Team - Dean Rodocker, Dean Graves and Colleen Drake
