Ask Me Tables and volunteers welcome students to the new semester

The student affairs division organized "Ask Me Tables" across the campus during the first three days of school to welcome and help students with directions and questions. We are grateful to the nearly 100 campus volunteers, including some alums, who returned to campus to assist students and contribute to a smooth start to the school year for our new and returning students. Way to show the Falcon spirit!
