The 2017\u201318 school year is rapidly approaching, and we hope that you\u2019re all as excited as we are to get back to campus and hit the ground running!<\/p>\n<p>First off, we\u2019d like to welcome the Class of 2021 to our University community! Of course, you will learn so much from the brilliant faculty here, and we encourage you to engage deeply with your academic pursuits. But further, we challenge you all to immerse yourself in your activities outside of the classroom. College provides a perfect environment for you to expand your horizons and find out what thoughts and activities you want to engage in, and passions and pursuits outside the classroom will help you expand your worldview and identify passions you may not have discovered otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>This year, our communal principle is respect. We encourage you to respect on your own values and how you can help foster a healthy, respectful community at the UofR. We hope that discussions surrounding the principle of respect will help you develop your own life philosophy. We strive to create an environment where students from many different backgrounds can come together and contribute to larger discussions, but to do that, we need to respect others, even when we disagree. From this, we can all develop a broader perspective and enhance our ability to communicate with one another in a healthy and productive manner.<\/p>\n<p>We are excited to serve as your SA president and vice president. As always, you can send us an email, come visit us in the Ruth Merrill Center in Wilson Commons, come to the Monday night Senate meetings, or schedule a lunch with us at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/sa.rochester.edu\">sa.rochester.edu<\/a>.<\/strong> Have a great end of the summer and see you soon!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan Smith \u201918<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"mailto:jordan.k.smith@rochester.edu\"><strong>jordan.k.smith@rochester.edu<\/strong> <\/a><br \/>\nStudents\u2019 Association president<\/p>\n<p><strong>Becca Mooney \u201918<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"mailto:rmooney3@u.rochester.edu\">rmooney3@u.rochester.edu<\/a><br \/>\nStudents\u2019 Association vice president<\/p>\n<h2>Make the most of your opportunities at Eastman<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-257372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/EastmanSAleaders.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/EastmanSAleaders.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/EastmanSAleaders-630x442.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/EastmanSAleaders-768x539.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>On behalf of the Eastman Students\u2019 Association, we would like to welcome everyone, old and new, to Eastman. We hope your summers have been productive yet refreshing as you embark on another school year. We would also like to take the time to offer a huge congratulation to the Class of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Eastman is an institution with fantastic professors and exceptional students, and, at Eastman, students come out as hardened, well-rounded, high-level musicians. It is a place to meet other highly talented musicians who become close friends. This camaraderie helps shape a valuable Eastman network that will last long past graduation.<\/p>\n<p>While at Eastman, we encourage students to explore the many opportunities available to students at the River Campus, be they academic, dining, or club activities. Eastman students may also participate in club or varsity sports at the River Campus; to our knowledge, there are currently Eastman students on the varsity swimming and diving, softball, and rowing teams!<\/p>\n<p>We are excited to serve as your Students\u2019 Association to work on new initiatives and advocate on behalf of our fellow students, helping to make your time at Eastman and Rochester ever better. We hope that you will make the most of the opportunities and activities at both campuses.<\/p>\n<p>As always, students can communicate their praises and concerns with the Students\u2019 Association via email, talking to us in person, or by speaking at Students\u2019 Association meetings. If you are interested in joining Students\u2019 Association, there will be elections held during the first semester for SA council positions\u2014we hope many of you will get involved. Enjoy the rest of the summer, and we look forward to seeing you soon!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Naoki Toyomura \u201917E<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"mailto:ntoyomur@u.rochester.edu\">ntoyomur@u.rochester.edu<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nEastman Students\u2019 Association president<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seiji Yamashita \u201920E<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"mailto:seijiyamashita@rochester.edu\">seijiyamashita@rochester.edu<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nEastman Students\u2019 Association vice president<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258922\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258922\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/rochester-ready-2017-18\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258922\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fea-RochesterReady-Newscenter-Graphic-193x117.jpg\" alt=\"student catching a frisbee; title says ROCHESTER READY\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fea-RochesterReady-Newscenter-Graphic-193x117.jpg 193w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fea-RochesterReady-Newscenter-Graphic-630x378.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fea-RochesterReady-Newscenter-Graphic-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/fea-RochesterReady-Newscenter-Graphic.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A new year is about to start.
