August 16 Email to All New Students

by Betsy Chapman

The following email was sent to all new students from Christy Buchanan, Associate Dean for Academic Advising, regarding August 19 and 20 deadlines and preparation for Orientation.

Dear New Wake Forest Student,

The excitement is building on campus!  Less than one week from now all of you will have moved in!  As you finish your preparations and packing, please remember that there are a few August 19 deadlines to make sure you have completed (see p. 12 of Forestry 101 or newstudents.wfu.edu, Deadlines and Forms, for details).

One earlier deadline — the completion of My Student Body — has been extended to August 20.  If you have not done so already, please follow the instructions provided by Student Health Services below to complete this requirement as soon as possible.

As you begin to think about getting connected on campus, I want to let you know that in addition to the many activities and organizations on campus, there are multiple formal mentoring programs.  You might want to begin to mull over these opportunities to see if any are of interest: http://mentoring.opcd.wfu.edu/mentoring-programs/

Safe travels!

See you soon,

Christy M. Buchanan, Ph.D.
Associate Dean for Academic Advising
Professor of Psychology
