January Welcome Back Note from Dean Melendez

Dear Members of the Class of 2018:
I hope your break was restful. If you have not reviewed your grades just yet, they will be open to all students by Wednesday, January 21. As you make final preparations to return for spring term, please take a few moments to reflect on last semester. What worked? Were you involved in too many activities? Remember our RULE of 7! Or do you want to be more involved and not sure how to go about that?
I can and many others on campus can be of assistance to you. We want to ensure a smooth transition for another semester.
Most important lesson of all: ASK QUESTIONS! LEARN HOW TO NAVIGATE WESLEYAN!
In the meantime, please read the following carefully. Lots of great information to begin the spring term!
