Wednesday, December 6, 2006 NEW STUDENT DIRECTORS FOR K-STATE'S WILDCAT WARM-UP PROGRAM MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University has new student directors for Wildcat Warm-up, a special program designed to improve student retention. Wildcat Warm-up allows new students to spend three days and two nights at K-State the summer before their first semester at college. Participants establish connections to current students, faculty and staff while learning student success strategies and K-State traditions. It is an optional program in addition to K-State's orientation and enrollment programs. "It will give new students entering K-State in fall 2007 a head start by meeting other freshmen, learning K-State traditions, getting involved in campus organizations and gaining a sense of the Wildcat spirit," said Emily Lehning, assistant dean of student life at K-State. The student directors will coordinate the work of student counselors to create and deliver a program offering informational activities for new K-State students. Student directors include: Susan Alsop, junior in mass communications, Garden City; Rachael Barnett, junior in communication science and disorders, Hutchinson; Rhyannon Pioletti, junior in secondary education, Manhattan; and Alex Suñé, junior in human resource management, Wichita. From out –of-state: Alex Wilson, junior in psychology, Austin, Texas. Wildcat Warm-up is scheduled for Friday, June 8, to Sunday, June 10, 2007. This marks the program's fourth year. Wildcat Warm-up is supported by tuition enhancement funds allocated by the K-State Student Governing Association. For more information about the program, call 785-532-6250 or 1-800-432-8270.
