Ask Me Campaign: Assisting students with a smooth transition- Aug. 27 & 28
Each fall semester, new students embark on their first day of University life as freshmen or transfer students, roaming CI with little recollection or knowledge of the campus. The Ask Me Campaign is designed to ensure a smooth opening of the school year for students by providing a concierge-type booth staffed by campus volunteers during the first couple days of the fall semester to respond to informational and directional inquiries. Just as our dedicated Orientation Leaders led the way for freshmen during Island View Orientation, they will once again take the lead to assist freshmen as they arrive this fall by volunteering their time at the Ask Me Campaign booths. Booths will be open Monday, Aug. 27 and Tuesday, Aug. 28 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the South Quad entrance to the Bell Tower and at Aliso Plaza. Each year, Ask Me volunteers address about 1,000 inquiries and while we receive many simple questions that have simple answers, we make a big difference.
For more information, please contact Kirsten Moss-Frye, associate director for Access, Orientation and Transition Programs at 805-437-3156, or email New Student, Orientation and Transition Programs at orientation@csuci.edu.
