Hello! I hope this newsletter finds you doing well! The first cohort of First Scholars at K-State are doing great! There are 21 First Scholars and they represent every area of Kansas. Thank you for allowing your scholar to be at K-State! I am really enjoying getting to know the scholars and I think they enjoy each other as well!
Scholars participate in a transition course that meets once a week. We focus on the transition to college and different skills to assist with test taking, note taking, reading, and will also have several presenters throughout the semester to talk about different services and resources.
We have socials once a month where Scholars are able to hangout with one another and have the opportunity to relax! Socials are a great time to continue building relationships and to get to hangout!
We will have an End of the Year Celebration on Sunday, April 26 in the Flint Hills room of the K-State Student Union. More information to come, but please save this date!
Please feel free to contact me at anytime with questions, suggestions or concerns. My email is: kmoody@ksu.edu and my telephone number is: 785-532-6318. It is a pleasure getting to work with your students!
First Scholars participated in a retreat on Friday, August 22 and Saturday, August 23. The retreat included the ropes challenge course, Strengths Workshop, presentations from the Academic and Career Information Center, and the Academic Assistance Center. Scholars were also able to get to know each other and start building relationships!
