The Wait is Over

Second semester is here and it is already flying by! It is the third week of the semester and I am busy already! Everyone is settled into their classes and some classes even have exams this week. I have a great feeling about the next few months, though. So far, my classes have been amazing. My two engineering classes are great. We are learning how to use the programs MatLab and LabVIEW as well as product development strategies. I love how I already feel like I am becoming an engineer even though it is only my second semester here.

There are a lot of other exciting things happening on campus that I am a part of. The application process for peer advising has begun and I have applied! A Peer Advisor is someone that helps guide first-year students throughout their transition to college. I really hope that I get the position who knows…maybe I will be an advisor to you!

The other exciting thing that has happened recently is training for the Accepted Student Day Visit Program. In this program an accepted student can come to WNE and follow myself or another current student to their classes, lunch, and any extracurricular activities or meetings that may be happening. I am really excited to start meeting potential new students! If you are an accepted student and would like to sign up for the Day Visit Program, please call the Admissions Office at 413-782-1321.

Besides the formal things, life on campus is full of everyday fun. Intramural sports have started and everyone is really excited about them. My soccer team played tonight and we all had so much fun! It has also been snowing a lot recently, so a few friends and I made a snowman! Life is never dull here at WNE.
