Throughout the event, they may meet with sophomore and junior volunteers who will hand out necessary materials and discuss any questions they might have about campus activities or college life. The program will start on September 1. On that day, participants are to meet at 7 a.m. at the northeast corner of the Main Square to prepare the leaflets and handbooks which will be distributed to freshmen.

Quality TimeYou’ve just been given a major task and want to do it well, but it seems that the minute you get started, you’re interrupted. First, jane stops by. Then, it’s the phone. Later, your boss tells you to drop everything – she’s got a rush job. And you have that meeting at there!All these things are important. If only you could rearrange them without breaking your concentration. And you can!
