for all your....

Welcome from the Chancellor of our time. It is an education in which you will develop and practice speaking and writing skills, analytical and quantitative reasoning, and in which opportunities abound for problem solving and critical thinking. Your experience here will call on you to be engaged—in the classroom and outside it, in traditional academic study, through internships, service learning, and artistic performance.

A warm welcome to all of you as this new school year begins...and a special greeting to those of you who are new students, faculty, and staff members. We welcome to our campus this fall a group of new students who bring outstanding academic credentials and who are already recognized as student leaders in their local high schools and communities. We look forward to that leadership continuing here. Our living and learning community also includes faculty and staff members who are dedicated to providing a rich, challenging, and rewarding experience for all Morris students.

And, the Morris campus continues its leadership as an institution of higher education committed to sustainability and sound environmental practices. Powered by wind and making full use of area natural resources, we anticipate achieving our goal of energy independence.

You will have many opportunities in the coming year to meet new people, explore the surrounding area, and sample from the wide array of in- and out-ofclass experiences that characterize this nationally recognized community of scholars. At Morris, we value academic achievement and engagement, cherish and expect respect for others, and place student achievement at the center of all we do.

Like you, I look forward to this new school year and to meeting each and every one of you!

Here, you will experience a liberal arts education that encourages broad and deep study that provides opportunities to ask and answer the “big questions”

Chancellor Jacqueline R. Johnson

Academic Happy New Year! We welcome the Class of 2017 to the University of Minnesota, Morris and our campus community. And, we look forward to the classes of 2014, 2015, and 2016 reconnecting after summer adventures on and off campus.

participate in an Intellectual Community course, join a student group or two, begin close connections with faculty and staff, and build life-long friendships. Opportunities for learning and community are all around you—seize the day.

As you begin the year, it’s time to chart your course at Morris—where students are very actively engaged in campus and community life. Our student experience surveys show that Morris students: • vote in federal and state elections; • attend live music performances and plays; • participate in University clubs and activities; • visit museums and art galleries; and • attend intercollegiate athletic events.

Whether you’re new to campus or a UMMer through-and-through, think creatively and make your education your own this year. • Check out the abundant campus events. • Spend time with people whose worlds are very different from your own. • Work with a faculty member on a research or artistic project. • Have adventures here and abroad. • Follow your passions. • Explore new possibilities. • Create your Morris experience. • Create your future.

More than three out of four of our recent Morris graduates participated in all of these activities. While you won’t ﬁnd this breadth of involvement in most student bodies, it’s common at Morris.

We’re very glad you’re part of the Morris community. Expect exciting learning experiences to begin in your ﬁrst year at Morris. Virtually all ﬁrst-year students live in on-campus residential communities,

Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Sandra K. Olson-Loy

Academic Center for Enrichment (ACE) enrich your Morris experience!

example, you can hear about other Morris students’ study abroad experiences through study abroad story night or learn tips on how to write an Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) grant application to conduct research and get paid for it.

The Academic Center for Enrichment (ACE) is the Morris campus’s one-stop location for students seeking more information on a variety of enrichment opportunities, including: • undergraduate research; • study abroad; • the Honors Program; • National Student Exchange; and • nationally competitive fellowships and awards.

We help students explore all options available to expand and enrich their Morris experience.

Academic Advising plan for success! The Academic Advising Program provides a host of services and materials that will help you plan to make the most of your education at Morris. The advising staff can assist you with: • changing your major or adviser; • learning about requirements for your major; • answering questions about degree completion; and • general academic related questions. Most of our resources are also available at morris.umn.edu/academic/advising.

Good planning is the key to reaching your goals. We encourage you to meet regularly with your adviser and take full advantage of the services of our ofﬁce so that your journey through college is successful and fulﬁlling. It’s your education…make it your own. Please stop in and see us!

Academic Advising 10 Student Center 320-589-6010 ummadvis@morris.umn.edu Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

You will meet your adviser for the ﬁrst time during orientation. If you have decided on a major, you will be assigned to a faculty expert in that ﬁeld. If you are still deciding, you will work with an adviser to explore options and examine potential majors. First-year students and sophomores are expected to meet with their advisers at least once every semester, but most students meet with them several times each term. Take advantage of your adviser’s expertise—you can learn a lot about your major and many other exciting opportunities that await you, like study abroad, internships, and research.

Student Counseling

someone who will listen and help Many people are a little intimidated about counseling, because they are unsure of what it entails. That seems to describe most peoples’ experience of their ﬁrst counseling sessions. A wise college counselor once used this metaphor to describe college counseling: “You come to college to take courses about different subjects. Counseling is kind of like a course you take on yourself where you are the teacher and the student.” The counselor facilitates self discovery in a safe, supportive environment.

Testing Center Student Counseling also serves as the campus Testing Center. Here you can take language and math placement exams, CLEP and DSST exams for college credit. As you get ready to graduate, we offer professional and graduate school admissions tests, i.e., LSAT, GRE Subject, MAT, PCAT, and Minnesota Teacher Licensure Examinations (formerly Praxis). For more information, contact Jane at 320-589-6060.

The Student Counseling staff is here for you if you are experiencing any number of personal or academic challenges. Services are confidential—no one will know we’ve talked to you without your written permission. We’re here for you as consultants, too; sometimes students are worried about a friend and want to talk with us for advice. Just call 320-589-6060 and ask to see one of our mental health counselors. Please do not use email to schedule appointments. We cannot guarantee email confidentiality, because we are on a shared University server. Expect to fill out 10–15 minutes’ worth of paperwork prior to your first session with a counselor.

The office provides a range of academic assistance programming as well as disability resources, support, and accommodation. All services are provided to enrolled students at no additional fee.

A list of the most common accommodations provided through the ofﬁce follows. Please note that this list is non-exhaustive and can include other accommodations at the discretion of the OAS director. • Assistive technology and listening devices (text conversion, text to voice, audio recorders) • Student note-takers

Academic Assistance (AA) offers a variety of academic support options available to all UMM students including:

• E-book or audio book access (when available) • Exam accommodations (extended time, limited distraction environment)

• Drop-in study rooms Drop-in study rooms provide collaborative spaces to work with peers on daily work and test preparation. Courses generally supported by drop-in study rooms include chemistry, mathematics, physics, and statistics.

Registering to receive services is easier than you might think. There is one key step: call 320-589-6178 to schedule an appointment. Here is the general registration process.

• Appointment-based tutoring A number of 1000- and 2000- level courses are supported by the tutor program. Peer tutors are available to work with students in one-on-one and small-group sessions. Walk-in visits are welcome during listed hours, but scheduled appointments are recommended. Visit the website to learn more, view the current term’s tutoring schedule, and request an appointment. • Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) study groups Structured, peer-led study sessions are available for select courses. Specially trained peer leaders facilitate regularly scheduled sessions that focus on both course content and effective study strategies. • Academic consultation Academic consultation offers students the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with a professional who specializes in helping students improve their academic performance. Consultation services range from a one-time visit focusing on a speciﬁc study skill to ongoing meetings focusing on the creation and maintenance of an academic success plan. Disability Services’ (DS) goal is to ensure that you have access to all the learning opportunities you choose, whether in class or at work, or participating in the wide range of social and cultural experiences the University offers.

1.Contact the director of the Office of Academic Success/Disability Services to set up an appointment to discuss your application for services form, or temporary health condition application form. 2.Provide official documentation of your disability, which is generally provided by a health care provider or testing specialist. Like other documents related to your progress at Morris, these documents are confidential. You may also want to provide any previous documentation from primary education case managers (such as high school, middle/elementary school) to help assist in getting the right accommodations for you. 3.Determine eligibility and accommodation. During the intake meeting, you’ll complete all registration paperwork, discuss and determine eligibility for services, and identify reasonable academic accommodations. If additional documentation is needed, this will be discussed and requested. 4.Students are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and register for services before they are needed. Once a student has registered through the office, s/he will meet with the disability coordinator at least once per semester to review the accommodations, discuss self-advocacy, create a success plan, and identify additional campus and community resources. 5.Follow-up is necessary every semester to register for accommodations.

Don’t be shy about contacting your personal librarian for help. Just stop and say hi from time to time. We’d love to get to know you! LibGuides Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming, ﬁguring out which resources to use for an assignment. That’s where LibGuides comes in. Located on the library’s home page, it’s an easy way to ﬁnd out where to start your research. Reference Desk Still need help? Simply stop at the reference desk, and a friendly librarian will be glad to assist you. Reference librarians are available 56 hours per week at the reference/research help desk and also by

appointment. If you have a question away from the library, call the reference desk at 320-589-6176, send an email to “Ask A Librarian,” or contact us via chat from the library home page. Interlibrary Loans It would be great if the library could promise to have everything you need available right on campus. Since that’s impossible, we offer Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service. The ILL department has an impressive track record for filling requests for books, articles, DVDs, CDs, and more. Complete the ILL request form available on the library’s website, or use one of the forms embedded in the library’s databases. Study Space If you’re looking for a place to study, Briggs has the answer. There are study carrels, tables, and small-group meeting rooms available. By student tradition, first and fourth floors are quiet areas. The entire library has wireless capability, but there are computers scattered throughout the building as well. Study Breaks Need to take a break from studying? Check out the library’s collections of entertainment DVDs, CDs, and the Best Sellers’ collection. Watch for announcements for library sponsored special events, including monthly game nights, held Friday nights from 6 p.m. until midnight. During crunch time at the end of the semester, consider visiting the stress-free zone on the first floor, and stop down at the main desk for late night coffee or snacks. 35

Career Services: So you just arrived…what are you planning to do after you graduate? It’s never too early to think about graduation and a career! And Career Services has the tools to help. ofﬁce hours: 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Entering a job or graduate/professional school doesn’t happen automatically after you graduate. Start considering your options now as you begin your college experience.

Not all Morris graduates go directly into the workforce. • Approximately 25 percent of graduates pursue graduate and professional studies immediately after receiving a Morris bachelor of arts degree. • Approximately 50 percent of graduates attend graduate or professional school during their lifetimes. Morris graduates report that a combination of coursework and out-of-class learning experiences were important preparation for their careers. • Fifty-nine percent of Morris graduates say courses in their major were moderately to extremely important preparation. • Fifty-four percent say the same for general education courses. • Fifty-nine percent report that an internship, teaching, or research experience was important preparation for their current employment. • Forty-six percent indicate that extracurricular participation was important preparation for their current jobs.

Career Services offers services to facilitate the developmental process for students and alumni, which include: • providing career/graduate school information and guidance; • providing teacher and liberal arts job and internship lists; • arranging on- and off-campus interviews; • offering assistance with resume and letter writing, job search, and interviewing techniques; • facilitating career activities including the All-University of Minnesota Job and Internship Fair, Graduate and Professional School Information Day, a summer job fair, the Minnesota Education Career Fair, and more, and; • collecting educational and occupational information maintained in the Career Resource Center.

Career Services is open to all Morris students and alumni. Stop in our ofﬁce in 110 Library, or visit the website at morris.umn.edu/services/career.

“What can you do with a liberal arts degree?” Here’s what you can tell your relatives when they ask.

The majority of Morris graduates find jobs in fields related to their college majors or choose to work in a different field. They work in major corporations and small businesses, educational institutions (K–12 and higher education), government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. Most recently, the major industries in which Morris graduates have obtained positions are: • education; • social and human services; • finance/insurance/real estate; • business service industries; • manufacturing; • retail trade; and • health services.

3. If your computer gets a pop-up window saying that you are infected with a virus, do not click on the scan button. Close the pop-up box, and open the antivirus software installed on your machine.

You may also use your UMN Google Drive account to backup your documents. If you have any questions or need help making sure your computer is backed up please contact the Help Desk. Problems on your Computer If you do end up having problems with your computer, either because of viruses or hardware failure, the Helpdesk can help you get it running again. Depending on the severity of the problems, it is sometimes necessary to reinstall the operating system on your computer. This means you may need
