Presentation transcript:

Balancing It All Introduce myself Set tone for day: provide information for supporting your students, provide space to create connections

Transitions Every place is unique University mission and purpose We want this to feel like home Discuss personal story of change Discuss previous institutions Talk about the culture, language University missions/purpose to challenge and support students for ‘whatever is next’ (grad school, industry, professional school) Plant seeds for independence and intellectual curiosity Stress that we want students to feel connected, make UMBC ‘home’ for greater success

Begin with the End in Mind Each transition is a new beginning. Talk about the culture of UMBC to work with students on what is next (UG research, internships, group work, organizations) UMBC is an institution with high expectations and high achieving students Admitted to UMBC is no longer the goal – Now the goal is to make these semesters/years/experiences mean something

Campus as a Community Discuss differences and the creation of a community Poll audience: - Number of institutions attended? - First family member in college? Students bring a number of experiences and dimensions with them, we want to celebrate them all in our community. They need your support and we need your support. You are part of the UMBC community now too

Challenge vs Support -Discuss what challenge vs support means. Talk about pushing students but being here for students. -Introduce the idea that we want to establish a sense of community, orientation is where this starts. We want to demonstrate all the resources available but also allow them to get to know one another and develop resources. -Take 5 minutes and have the families introduce themselves to other families around them. Let them know they will be with each other all day and they can start by getting to know one another so that throughout the day they can ask each other questions, and possibly become resources for each other on this journey.

Balancing It All Expectations Responsibilities Available resources Poll audience about their expectations? Poll audience about what they think their responsibilities are? -Expectations of involvement, engagement, students taking ownership of their education. As a family communicate expectations early. -Responsibility of students to seek help, be proactive. Responsibility of families to encourage, support, be knowledgeable of resources, look for warning signs, be mindful of time expectations -Available resources. We have staff in every aspect of students time here at UMBC. Prime the pump for questions of the Student Services Panel and challenge families to ask questions all day.

Once Again, Meet Your Orientation Peer Advisors… Introduce OPAs as a resource that will be with them all day. Introduce the idea behind the skits: We know not all scenarios can be covered, but we wanted to introduce a couple of things we have seen and heard before. Skit 1- “Making friends, getting involved on campus”. Afterwards talk through the benefits of getting involved, have OPAs share their experiences with establishing networks, study groups, involvement on campus. Skit 2-” Midterms, I’m not smart enough for school” . Discuss academic rigor, first year alerts, academic support. Asking for help. Skit 3- “Going a way for an internship”. Poll audience how many of their students work? How many had internships or done research. Have the OPAs explain their involvement in research, service learning or internships. Skit 4- “No one is here to help me”. Afterwards talk about the purposeful challenge we give students to advocate for themselves and helping them build these skills for life beyond UMBC.
