The Division of Student Development and Enrollment Servicesβ First Year Advising and Exploration held its annual Knights Knowledge Expo on January 27, with over 150 ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ students in attendance. The 2016 Knights Knowledge Expo is an initiative to introduce Spring 2016 admitted students to ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ departments, offices, student organizations and resources that will help them succeed and prepare them for the future.
FAIRWINDSΒ Credit UnionΒ sponsoredΒ theΒ event,Β which featured pizza, drinks andΒ 25 departments and organizationsΒ that distributedΒ information about their servicesΒ and programs. ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ spirit prizes including a ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ umbrella, banner, tumbler, hat and blanket provided by First Year Experience were awarded to three students selected from a chance drawing.
Malaika Cesar-Nemorin, a Spring 2015 admitted student who attended, said the event was, βgreat because I was able to connect with different organizations that I wanted more information about.β Cesar-Nemorin also commented that because she was a spring admit last year she could, βsee how helpful the event is for students that start in the spring because youβre able to get information about a lot of different resources that ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ has to offer.β
This event was one of many that FYAE has organized to assist spring admitted students in becoming more connected to ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ and counts as one of the qualifying events for the $1,000 SGA Spring Admit Scholarship.
