Marhaba 2015 Feedback
During the course of the next few weeks, the Office of the Dean of Students and the Office of First Year Programming will be coordinating several avenues for Marhaba 2015 feedback. This will include: student assessments, staff/Marhaba volunteer focus groups, student orientation leader focus groups, and first year student focus groups. Please see below for dates and details.
Encourage your FYD students to sign-up (via the Portal or Facebook) for the focus groups. You should also sign-up for a staff focus group. Links are on the Portal and on the FYD Site homepage.

CDC Assignment Update
The CDC has created a small flyer for you to share with your FYD section. We have printed them and they are available on Samantha's front table. Please come by and collect a stack for your FYD section. If you are unavailable to come, let us know and we will deliver them to you.
OPTIONAL ONGOING FEEDBACK
- This year, our office will seek optional ongoing feedback as you progress through your seminar. At any time, go to the FYD Site and submit feedback on a particular session and/or session activity via the Ongoing Feedback tab.
- You can offer feedback related to seminar content or logistics.
- At the optional workshops, you will also have the opportunity to share feedback face-to-face. There will also be an assessment in the spring.
