As the summer draws to a close, we are looking forward to being back with all of you at our home beside the Genesee!<\/p>\n

We are beyond excited to serve as your Students\u2019 Association president and vice president. As the student-elected voice to the administration, we are a helpful resource for answering any questions as well as voicing both concern and praise.<\/p>\n

A special welcome to the Class of 2023 to our community this fall! We can\u2019t wait to greet you as you begin some of the best four years of your life. Once you arrive on campus, take time to discover and enjoy all that this University has to offer, including the countless academic and nonacademic resources. We invite you to introduce yourself to the esteemed faculty and your fellow students. The friends you meet here will last a lifetime. While you have chosen our University to continue your academic journey, we urge you to get involved in the multitude of activities and organizations our University has to offer outside of the classroom (think of student government as one). We encourage you to use your time at this institution to venture into new and unfamiliar territories, discover your passions, and broaden your outlook on the world.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of creating a stronger and more inclusive community on our campuses, we encourage you to take part in understanding the vast cultural backgrounds that many students on this campus come from. It\u2019s important to express your ideas and conduct your actions with integrity while upholding the principles of this institution.<\/p>\n

Feel free to send us an email, visit us in the Ruth Merrill Center in Wilson Commons, come to Senate meetings on Monday nights, or schedule a lunch with us at sa.rochester.edu if you have any questions or concerns or if you just want to chat.<\/p>\n

We hope you have a wonderful rest of the summer and enjoy every hotness of it, because the cold in Rochester will soon be upon you. See you soon and safe travels!<\/p>\n

We want to encourage you, especially if it will be your first year, to soak up everything Eastman has to offer.
