November
has been a busy month for the U1.0 and MKE Scholars Living Learning Community.
Starting on November 2nd, the Career Planning and Resource Center
had a speaker who spoke on the 21st floor lounge. This presentation
allowed the students to ask questions that they had about resumes, cover
letters, volunteering and graduate school applications to better prepare them
for their future. Students were also able to create/update their resumes and
cover letters at this time. As an LLC we also participated in Fall Make a
Difference Day on November 11th. This event took place from
8:00am-12:00pm on a Saturday morning which was great that we had a total of 12
residents on our team to participate in this great cause. This event allowed
the students to help the elderly in the Milwaukee area winterize their homes
while bonding with additional residents from their floor. As of now for
upcoming events, we are hoping to hear feedback on what students enjoy for
their holiday dinners. If we have some suggestions with adequate time
University Housing and the Inclusive Excellence Center will hold a holiday
dinner for the LLC students to attend.
Aside
from fun events, the semester is coming to an end leaving many things on your
To Do list before enrollment. As 1st Generation students this is all
new to you, so don’t be afraid to reach out and ask questions to your Peer
Mentor or Resident Assistant. Before you enroll for Spring 2018 classes you
must meet with your academic adviser to discuss your recommended courses,
complete the Panther Enrollment Checklist on PAWS, vote in the Union Referendum
and pay the remainder of your tuition charges. It is also important to check
the Holds and To Do columns on PAWS to ensure you have completed everything
before enrollment. Your Spring Enrollment date will appear on the left had side
of your PAWS home screen. To plan ahead, PAWS has a schedule planner that
allows you to view all the possible schedules with your required classes. If
you would like help accessing these materials and making sure you have
completed everything on time feel free to reach out to RA Teagan in N2170C.
