The 2016-2017 academic year has started and our faculty and staff has been eager to get to know the residents of Warren College.\u00a0 With over three hundred residents living in Warren College this year there certainly are a lot of people to get to know, but that\u2019s part of the fun of living here!<\/p>\n
In our first week, we have had several events to help our residents to get to know the Warren and Moore community.<\/p>\n
On move in Sunday a Welcome Back Warren open house was held in Dr. Fisher\u2019s apartment.\u00a0 This was a chance for residents to stop in and say hello and check out the space where many more events will take place this year.\u00a0 Moore College has a similar event, organized by Dr. Lovensheimer and the Moore Graduate Fellows \u2013 Brooke and Valencia.<\/p>\n
Then, on Wednesday night we had a large scale event, an \u2018orientation\u2019 of sorts for the residents of both Warren and Moore Colleges.\u00a0 After the first day of class, the faculty and staff also felt that it was important for our residents to get a crash course in who we are.\u00a0 This was a chance for our residents to get a quick introduction to both faculty directors – Dr. Doug Fisher and Dr. Jim Lovensheimer; the four graduate fellows \u2013 Brooke, L, Laurel, and Valencia; the Area Coordinator, Courtney and the Graduate Area Coordinator, Chris; the College Halls admin assistant, Jordan; and the RAs.\u00a0 Residents were expected to attend one of the two thirty minute sessions.\u00a0 After the information session was over, students enjoyed a dessert spread provided by Vanderbilt Dining and mingled with their peers.<\/p>\n
Between Tuesday and Wednesday night, Dr. Fisher, L, and I also made our rounds to all of the floor meetings being held in Delbr\u00fcck and Elliston Halls.\u00a0 This was our chance to interact with our residents in smaller settings and introduce them to what we do here in the College Halls system.\u00a0 With this opportunity we reminded our residents that we are here to help put on the programs that they want to see (and have the budget to help make that happen!).\u00a0 We hope that this is the start of a fantastic year with lots of resident participation in and interaction with the Warren community.<\/p>\n
