Help Needed for Fall Week of Welcome

As the fall term approaches, we’re preparing for an exciting Week of Welcome (WOW), and we need your participation. The WOW team is asking for your help to greet students, provide valuable college resources and foster a sense of belonging and engagement across our campuses.

Now is your chance to join the Student Engagement Team, ASGRCC, Student Life and the Student Success Task Force in making a difference in student success. Each campus will have employees stationed at key locations to distribute campus maps and other essential materials to ensure a smooth start to the term. Some of these stations are outdoors, so please dress appropriately for the weather.

Here’s how the week will unfold:

  • On Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, staff will assist students with wayfinding and provide helpful resources.
  • On Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 2-3, ASG and volunteers will host various activities centered around coffee, snacks and student engagement.

If you’re interested in participating, please check with your supervisor about availability and then sign up for one or more time slots. Front-facing staff are encouraged to serve students in their offices, but anyone with some time to spare is welcome to stop by and lend a hand. If your schedule allows, consider signing up for multiple shifts, and don’t forget to wear your RCC gear and name tag during the events.

Encourage others to get involved as well, and feel free to drop by your campus during any breaks to say hello and support WOW. Let’s come together to make this fall term a success for our students. For more information, contact Jodi Simons at JSimons@roguecc.edu or Joseph Maurer JMaurer@roguecc.edu.
