In this mini session I learned about proper email etiquette and how to communicate professionally. We talked about using appropriate wording, including a clear subject, greeting the person respectfully, and ending the email politely for example with a thank you. We also learned the importance of including your student ID when needed so the person you are sending the email to can identify you and assist you more easily.
I attended the mini session about AA, AS, and AAS degrees. I learned that an AA (Associate of Arts) and an AS (Associate of Science) are often for students who want to transfer to a four-year college. An AAS (Associate of Applied Science) focuses more on preparing students for a specific job. And this helped me understand the different degree options and how they can help me with my future education and career.

During this event we talked about the pressure we experience in our everyday lives. We talked about how school, work, family, and comparing ourselves to others can make us feel stressed or like we are behind. We also talked about how everyone has their own timeline and that it is okay to not have everything figured out yet.
At the transfer fair there was many different colleges like UMD,Frostburg,ASU and more. I learned about what certain colleges offer and more about their campus overall.

I attended the club fair and it was really fun. I learned about different clubs the school offers.
The new student Convocation was a good experience because it made me feel welcomed as a new student.
The Promise scholarship orientation provided important information about college resources/scholarship and what to expect as a new student. It helped me better prepare for the upcoming semester.
