Lori-- This sounds like a great practice. I am sure that both you (the school) and the student have a much better understanding of each other by the time they sit in the classroom. Susan

Evan-- As a recovering 'mathphobic' I appreciate that you try to make it both educational and enjoyable. Hands-on and practical math exercises help immensely. If they can easily see how they might use it outside of the class, it makes it much more enjoyable. Great job. Susan

Bobbi-- I really like that you have made a point to include traditional on non-traditional students in your ambassador group. Do you have separate orientations? Some schools do that as they can have very different questions, etc. Susan

Jeff-- This sounds great! I know it is difficult to get all faculty to attend, but having the people the new students will be interacting with the first session is ideal. Susan
