The beginning of classes here at The College is fast approaching, but even before that is Freshmen Orientation. Here at W&M, we don't just do a quick weekend introduction. Instead orientation is an intense (but fun and exciting) week-long affair. As someone who has experienced orientation first hand, I can say that mixers with other freshmen halls was a fun break from all the scary, official parts filled with paperwork.
Here in the DEN we want to introduce freshmen to the Muscarelle early, and educate them all about the museum. That's why we've designed several mixers for OA's (thats Orientation Aides) to choose from. Hopefully, starting the 22nd, we'll have freshmen in here doing arts and crafts and completing scavenger hunts, all the while socializing and mixing with their fellow students. Maybe they will love the museum so much after the mixers that we'll have dozens new interns! That's a stretch, but maybe we can get them to come to future Muscarelle events and exhibitions?
Here's hoping
