Dear Students,

As the first month of school comes to a close, I trust you all have had a great time thus far. Many of you have found your fit here in the University of New Haven community and are continuing to grow with the rest of your class.

Your experience here is fluid and don’t be afraid of taking chances and trying out new things. The people you associate yourself with will help develop you into who you truly are.

Over the next week before September is truly behind us, I encourage you to go to a program put on by a Resident Assistant that you don’t know very well and knock on someone’s door in your hall who you haven’t met.

Continue to make and build relationships with your peers. Keep exploring; there are many things for you out there.

Patrick Kelland
