Cultural Encounters:
From the Sand to the Snow

June 4, 2006

Ready for Monday

My second week of orientation Staff training is almost over. I have learned so many things about registration, organizations, offices and etc that I could never imagine. Monday is my first day “advising”, that means helping students with the transition from high school to college. I know it isn’t easy for them because it wasn’t easy for me when I left home and moved to a new place far from my parents. I know I will have an impact on some of the new freshmen in a similar way I was impacted by other students and staff when I arrived at UNI. I think that is the reason I am quite nervous and excited for my first day at SOS.

Claudia is a senior majoring in both Public Relations and Economics. Two of her sisters have joined her at UNI. Claudia works in the International Services Office, and also was an active officer in International Student Association and intramural sports. She loves horseback riding, table tennis and cheering for the Panthers.

The students postings are representative of their views on life at UNI, and are not necessarily the views of UNI.
