MOUNTAINEER VISITATION DAY TOUR GUIDE
WVU's Office of New Student Orientation is seeking outgoing individuals who love WVU
and wish to make a difference for future students of WVU by becoming a Mountaineer
Visitation Day tour guide. The office will be hiring approximately 15 to 20 students
to serve as student tour guides for West Virginia University's Mountaineer Visitation
Days (MVDs). MVDs are open houses for prospective students and their families. By
attending a Mountaineer Visitation Day, prospective students are able to experience
firsthand the exciting programs WVU has to offer its students. During their visit,
they will have the opportunity to speak with various faculty members and students,
tour the campus, and visit one of our residence halls for lunch. Candidates should
have excellent communication and listening skills, be able to work independently
without direct supervision, and have a desire to represent WVU.

A GREAT IDEA FROM SNA IF YOU PLAN TO DO SOME TRAVELING THIS SUMMER!
Please bring the toiletry items (shampoos, soap, even the instant coffee) you collected
from the hotels you stayed in. You can bring these items back to school and place them
in the collection box in Academic Affairs (in front of Brandy's desk) when you get back
to school. SNA will donate these items to the Bartlett House. Thanks so much. Michelle
L. Ryan is the SNA President, 2008-2009.

KEEP BRINGING YOUR USED PC CARTRIDGES TO HEALTH RESTORATION
We continue to raise funds for the Humane Society – The small pc cartridges we are
donating are worth around $1 and the large cartridges bring in $4 each – This continues
to be a worthwhile project, saving the animals and the landfill as well. The Humane
Society truly appreciates your efforts! This is a year round project! Unfortunately,
the need never goes away!
