Keys to student involvement

  • Correct link to the AI Clinic website
  • Fall Student Involvement Fair
  • The Link

I am going to be assisting with move-in and Pre-Orientation welcome events much of today, so this is a pre-post

As our students – particularly our newest ’30s and transfer students – move in, one of the keys to helping them acclimate to campus life is by getting them meaningfully involved in the life of the university. For many students, that comes from engagement in student organizations, events, and activities.

Today I want to share two avenues to involvement that can help our students find ways to connect to each other through shared interests. Many thanks to my colleagues within Campus Life for sharing these write up.

Correct link to the AI Clinic website

Yesterday I shared an item about a new course series for AI fluency called the AI Clinic. Unfortunately I incorrectly shared an old link. Here is the correct link. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Fall Student Involvement Fair

On Thursday Aug. 27th, the Office of Student Engagement will be hosting the Fall Student Involvement Fair on Poteat Field, from 3-6 p.m. Students will get the opportunity to hear from our 150+ registered student organizations, student led initiatives, and Fraternity and Sorority Engagement organizations.

Whether your student is searching for a community through a religious or spiritual organization, social fraternity or sorority, or a service organization, the Involvement Fair is an opportunity to see what is available at Wake. Help your Deacon find their place by encouraging them to attend the Involvement Fair! To prepare for the Involvement Fair, encourage your student to use the Link to search organizations they want to visit at the fair. The fair can be overwhelming, so having a list of 3-5 student organizations that they want to seek out can help them have a plan on the day of.

The Link

The Link is Wake Forest University’s student organization hub. All organizations on campus have a page on the Link, allowing students to see campus-wide event calendars, search organizations and events by interest, and more! If your student isn’t sure about how to find community, the Link is a great place to start. Your student can visit the Link at https://thelink.wfu.edu/. 

Wishing everyone a great weekend, and safe travels to campus when it is time for you/your student to move in.
