¾¨Ó㴫ý will initiate the "Get Real" life preparation series with "Planning an Outdoor Getaway" Thursday, Feb. 9, from 12:35-1:40 p.m. at the Club Room of the McKelvey Campus Center.
"We can only accept the first 30 students who register," said Kim Spead, rresidence director and co-coordinator of the series. "Students do not need to come to all sessions, but they do need to register because we include lunch with the session."
The "Get Real" life preparation series was developed to acquaint students with information about life after college. It will provide advice about financial planning, banking, purchases, medical care issues and options, consumer and personal legal matters, comparative shopping, understanding labels, reading maps, apartment and house hunting tips, outdoor activities, and how to avoid finding Mr./Ms. Wrong.
"Our goal is to open students' eyes about what to expect after graduation, the nuances of life that are not typically covered in the formal classroom," said Dr. Neal Edman, dean of student affairs at ¾¨Ó㴫ý.
Jamie Jennings and Laura Nystrom, co-directors of Titan Traverse, are the first presenters.
"We want students to discover what to do after their 40-hour week is over. We'll talk about how to find outdoor hot spots; what to bring with you; how to read trail maps; and give some safety tips," said Nystrom. "We want to offer some advice to those who want to enjoy the outdoors, but don't have a lot of experience with the environment. The outdoors can be a wonderful place to recreate or a very dangerous one."
The seminars are free and open to all ¾¨Ó㴫ý students, but are geared toward upperclassmen. Contact Edman at (724) 946-7110 or e-mail nedman@westminster.edu for more information on this new program.
