Dear Marshall University staff and administrators,<\/p>\n

Plans have begun for the 2024 Week of Welcome (WOW), which marks the arrival of Marshall\u2019s class of 2028.<\/p>\n

A key component of WOW and the successful transition of our students is UNI 100: Freshman First Class.\u00a0This course, which meets approximately two times during WOW and once a week for the first seven weeks of the fall semester, provides freshman students with critical information about university resources, a network of fellow students with whom to connect, and, perhaps most importantly, a class leader, who becomes their go-to person at a time when they know few people on campus.<\/p>\n

I hope that you will consider becoming a UNI 100 class leader(formally known as facilitators) for the fall. All staff members and administrators who hold an A.A.\/A.S. or higher are eligible to apply for this opportunity. The need for UNI class leaders or faciliators is great, as is the potential you have to make a positive difference in the lives of our new students. Here is\u00a0the application form<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0a list of FAQs is available here<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to help explain what it takes to be a successful class leader.<\/p>\n

An information session will be held\u00a0Friday<\/span>, February 23rd, at 2 p.m. via Microsoft Teams for anyone who would like to learn more about this opportunity. Please contact\u00a0Michelle Biggs<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for an invitation to the information session. If you have questions about the application process or the course itself, contact information for the UNI 100 class leader workgroup members is located on the FAQ document.<\/p>\n

The key to growing our student enrollment is the positive and effective interactions students have with each of us through their time on campus. I hope you will join us in this important endeavor.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Brad D. Smith<\/p>\n

President<\/p>\n
