Warm Welcome 2023

It was great helping out new and returning students.

I helped several students move into their dorms. I got to help several parents find their way around campus and unload things to take the load off them. I also collaborated with other WoW leaders, and they helped me learn the importance of communication and teamwork. The most significant takeaway from this service opportunity was communication. It is important to communicate with people so that there is a clear understanding of things and organization. I plan to apply this learning to undergrad life and beyond because this helps me form my communication skills and prepares me for the real world. I engaged with many organizers of this event, and they were the advisors for the dorm I was in. They were very respectful at times when I was lost, and I also tried to help them in any way I could. I listened well to the people who were in charge of the event so that I could know what to do with the new students, and I wanted to help them in the best way possible. I engaged with several of the organizers because I wanted to know more about the move in process for students. I demonstrated a willingness to embrace new experiences because being a WoW leader is very impactful, and the skills i used during these events will be used later on in my career.

Welcoming the freshman into their dorms was really fun. Got to talk to them while helping them move into their dorms.

It was fun helping others move in .
