Week 1 (8/24-8/28)
This Monday marked the first day of the semester. This semester is particularly unique because most of the semester will be online and this is my first semester as an ambassador! :) With this pandemic, we’ve had to make some slight adjustments to events, but we’re making it work nonetheless! This week has been full of working events and getting settled into my classes. I even had the opportunity to help out with a couple of events last week before the semester officially started!
Every day this week there has been a different (virtual) event of a welcome week series where, you guessed it, we welcome all incoming students to UC Blue Ash! I worked the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Welcome sessions where my fellow ambassador, faculty, and staff had the opportunity to interact with new students, introduce them to Campuslink (a website that lists all the campus events going on), and encourage and offer our advice to the students. I took several online classes over the summer, so I was able to offer my best tips on how to navigate online classes.
I remember how nervous I was my first semester of college, so I felt grateful to have the chance to alleviate any fears the students may have been feeling!
P.S. here's a screengrab of some of our awesome staff and new students from one of theWelcome Week sessions this week :)
This semester I’m taking four classes- Intro to Human Resources, Intro to Public Relations, Positive Psychology, and Social Psychology. Because they're all online, it’s even more important for me to set up a routine and stick to it! I love learning more about psychology and I’m interested to learn more about possibly pursuing an HR career so I’m looking forward to all of my classes this semester!
Until next time!
