About Me:

My name is Steph, and I am a senior Marketing major with a Communication Studies minor. Since this is my last year at Butler, my main goal is to enjoy every moment that I have left, while doing as much as humanly possible. I am a marketing analyst at the Butler Business Accelerator, a Speakers Lab tutor, and a Butler blogger (obviously). I also am an Alpha Phi, the President of the Butler University Student Foundation, a member of Alpha Kappa Psi (a professional business fraternity), and a member of the Butler American Marketing Association. In the small amount of free time that I do have, I love crafting, watching large amounts of television, and enjoying my favorite comfort foods, like sweet tea.

Can’t every week be Welcome Week??

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Stephanie

Last week was Welcome Week…and let’s just say…I’m still getting caught up because I was so busy having fun.  It was an AMAZING week full of meeting new people, helping our new students get settled in here at Butler, and doing every single activity possible.  Since this is my senior year, I believe that will be the theme of my year:  Doing everything….even if there is definitely not time.  In fact, I didn’t really unpack until I had already been here for 7 days…yes…I lived out of piles and boxes for a full week…just because I was that busy.  Here are several of the activities that I was super busy with:

The Quest-

I love The Quest…and there are really no words to describe it.  Let’s just say it involves lots of dancing…competition…fun music…and being crazy?  Is that good enough?

The teams...coming up with some awesome plans...

Academic Day-

This is the longest day of Orientation, because we meet with our groups to discuss the Welcome Week book, college expectations, and what to expect as a student in the COB.  In addition to this, there is a convocation in the morning, and some pretty intense activities later that night (Playfair anyone??).  So, its a big day, to say the least.  Before we parted ways with our group….we were sure to take a photo….

My awesome orientation group...

They were amazing…and so much fun.  I’m just sure that all 25 of them are going to be champions of college.  Look at them….they will be taking names on tests and papers before you know it.

Late Night Party at Target-

Yep.  You read that right…we had a party…at Target…for only the new students.  It was their second day on campus, so they could buy things that they needed for their rooms if they wanted (I needed laundry detergent…so it was rather convenient), or they could just hang out, meet new people, and enjoy having Target all to themselves.  We even had music (so there was dancing…naturally), food, games, and prizes.  Talk about a great trip to Target…am I right???

Some SOGs at Target...we might have been more excited than the new students...it's fine.

I loved every minute of Welcome Week…and I’m rather sad that I will never again experience anything like it.  So…I’ll share more about the week soon….because I just love it that much.  :)
