Hope you all had a good long weekend with the Labor Day holiday and that this will be a good/short workweek for you!
By the time today’s Daily Deac hits your inbox, there will be about an hour left in the Fall Involvement Fair. It’s a gorgeous day today, so hope your Deacs will head to Poteat Field to sign up for some clubs and organizations.
Especially for our ’29s who are trying to find their people at the start of the year, it is helpful to think building a social network in a couple of different ways: try to find a few friends/connections based on location (i.e., your residence hall), a few friends based on your classes, and a few friends based on shared interests via clubs and organizations.
Photostories: Football season opener and Deacon Dash
My talented photography colleagues have put together a photostory so you can see what your Deacs were seeing this past Friday. The football season opener photostory shows everything from the pregame tailgating and fun, the Deacon Dash (i.e., the tradition for new students – ’29s – running onto the football field en masse for the first home game), cheerleaders and dance team, marching band, and crowd shots. Check it out – you may just see your Deac!
For those who may be interested, you can subscribe to photostories and have them land in your inbox any time one is published; look for the subscribe box at the bottom of the photostory page.
World of Finance workshop on Sept. 9
The OPCD (Office of Personal and Career Development) asked me to share this with the Daily Deacdom:
“Is your student considering a career in finance? Are they interested in a specific area but unsure of what it involves? This session provides an introductory overview of careers in finance to create a deeper awareness of which paths align with their interests and skills, a review of timelines, and next steps. All students interested in and wanting to learn more about this industry are encouraged to attend. They should register on Handshake.”
World of Finance will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 9 from 5:30 – 7 p.m. in A31 Broyhill Auditorium – Farrell Hall.
Weekly Message for P’29s
While we are no longer sending an email to all P’29s each week as we did over the summer, we are still doing a weekly message of sorts: every Monday, there will be an item in the Daily Deac for our P’29s that corresponds to something that they/their new students might be experiencing. This week’s message is If I do it, what is my student learning?
That’s all I have for you today, Daily Deacdom. Hope you have a great rest of your day :)
