Hey freshmen, Welcome to Slivka!
Prepare yourself for fun and excitement, and Ill try not to make this a boring story! (Forthe rest of the year after New Student Week, by fun and excitement, I mean mostly studying
thats college for you.) To help you settle in during your first week here, we have put together a
fancy Freshman Welcome Packet so that you know how we do. Finding information that youwant on Northwesterns gigantic website is like looking for a needle in the hay, so we havecompiled what we think is the most relevant information for you.
Of course we know that there is a non-zero possibility that you will feel displaced,homesick, confused, lost, and simultaneously excited, optimistic, and giddy with your newfound
freedom. If you are an international student who came in an airplane over the sea or you traveled4000 miles over the vast spoils of America to come here, you already know that Slivka will be
your home more than your parents house for the next year of your life. Never fear, theFreshman Welcome Packet is here so you can get familiar and get stoked for your new home
away from home!In the packet, you will find some words from our Faculty Master, the history of Slivka,
what to pack, campus maps, Slivkan traditions, restaurant directions, and more! Just visit
http://www.slivka.northwestern.edu
Youve got questions, weve got answers! Also included in the Freshman Welcome Packet arethe email addresses and AIM screen names of the entire Slivka executive board. Dont be shy,
just say hi there couldnt be a better place, a better time! Once you reach Slivka in the fall, dontforget our contact info. If the Boss man is getting you down of ifyoure starting to feel like
another fall victim thinking October is eternal and Thanksgiving break will never come, you canalways come to exec members for a sympathetic ear. We were once freshmen, too.
You might be wondering how only 10 Slivkan Executive Board members can possibly
pay attention to all 70 of you freshmen. Not to worry, itll be A-OK!Slivkan upperclassmenlove helping! Youll notice when you get here that our residential college is one of the mostopen, chill, and accepting environments on campus. We embrace diverse interests; we have
freshmen and upperclassmen alike interested in everything from vacuuming their roomscompulsively to rocking out to KC Accidental (and I am interested in both)!
If you werent planning to contact us before arriving, too bad, youll have to anyway. Inan attempt to tip the scales to maximum awesomeness, we are going to be matching you with an
upperclassman as part of our Big Sib/Little Sib program. This year, were going to have bigsib/little sib families where 2 upperclasspersons are grouped with 2-3 entering freshmen.
Theyll take you out to eat, show you around Evanston, introduce you to the coolest profs at Prof2 Peer (P2P) lunches, and make sure that you are feeling settled, safe and comfortable eight days
a week at Northwestern.
To facilitate this, please read and fill out the accompanying form asking for info and apicture. PLEASE SEND THIS FORM BACK TO LIZ ABRAHAMSON BY EMAIL before
September 1. Thanks and I hope to talk to you in the summertime and meet you in September!
A fond farewell until fall,Gillian Hsieh, PresidentSlivka Residential College of Science and Engineering
