Welcome Back and Be Successful!Try to accomplish your News
Years resolution!
Donʹt sleep through the first half
of the semester‐ While it may
appear that syllabus week and the
first few classes of the semester
arenʹt terribly important,
skipping through
these may put you
permanently behind
in your classwork
for the semester.
Don’t forget about time
management and effort, stay on
top of everything and youʹll have
much less stress and more
productivity!
Don’t go into the semester
defeated‐ So what if fall might
have kicked your butt. Itʹs a new
semester and new year!
DO Try a new hobby or even
join a new club!
Look for fun programs coming
this month.
Next Month the
staff of
commons will
be doing a sushi
night, the last
one got close to 100 residents!
Make sure to look for flyers and
information regarding this
wonderful event!

Welcome Back! January 2014
RHA Sponsors Winterplace Snow Tubing Trip Residence Hall Association is partnering with the Office of Student Activities to of-fer a totally free snow tubing trip to Winterplace near Beckley, WV on Saturday, Jan-uary 25th. This marks the first partnership between Student Activities and Residence Hall Association to offer a weekend trip for students. There will be a charter bus leaving at approximately 8:30 am on Saturday, January 25th. The bus should return around 10:00 pm the same day. To reserve your seat on the bus you have to make a down payment of $20 and you will get your money back when you show up for the trip. While transportation and snow tubing ticket to Winterplace are included, meals are not included. Your $20 deposit which will be refunded to you when you get on the bus can be used to purchase lunch and dinner while traveling to and from Winterplace. Sign-ups for the trip and sign-up locations will be announced during the first week of school through e-mail and social media. Please pay attention for the announcement. If you have any questions, please see a member of Residence Hall Association. You may also contact RHA Advisor Britt Frye at [email protected]. We hope this is the first of many more exciting weekend excursions.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO BUILD YOUR RESUME?
Come our for our Wings and Wisdom event on January 23rd at 8:30 pm!
Towers West RA’s will talk about how they picked the majors they are in now and what
steps they are taking to prepare for future careers in their chosen fields. Learn how successful students align their interests with opportunities such as internships which provide opportunities to learn and enhance marketability upon graduation. There will be free Buffalo Wild Wings offered for those who attend the program.
Marco Wants You for Hall Council This semester spots have opened up! If interested please talk to RAs J.J Phillips and Nick Chancey, or talk to RD Britt Frye. Meeting times have yet to be announced. Last semester Hall Council had successful programs, one being the ping pong tournament, raising money for
Christmas gifts for children in need. Also Hall Council is a great op-portunity that requires little time commitment. It is a great opportuni-ty to meet others in the hall, grow your leadership skills, and enhance
your resume in just one or two hours every week. Don’t miss out!
Welcome Back for a New Semester! Get Started on the Right Foot
If you are just joining
our community…
WELCOME! If you are
returning for your second
semester… GLAD YOU ARE
BACK!! The staff here in TTE
hopes that you are excited
and ready to embrace a new
semester. We will be having
lots of fun and
exciting things for you to do
and get involved with. We
hope that you take every
opportunity and truly enjoy
the experience! If you have
any questions feel free to ask
the RA on your floor or stop
by the front desk!!
Things to REMEMBER!! Now that you are here
make sure that you have
read/reviewed the housing
policies. You are responsible
for knowing these and
abiding by them. Your RA
will be going over them at
your first floor meeting so
make sure you are in
attendance. There is a two
week freeze at the beginning
of the semester for room
changes after that if you feel
that you need a room
change you can talk with
your RA about that
possibility. Make sure to
show your key when
entering the building. This is
for your safety and security.
Make sure to lock your door
when you leave your room.
If you have any concerns at
all make sure you speak
with your RA.
“Your FUTURE is created by what you do today,
not tomorrow!”
