Volunteer Opp for Art Majors :)

Dear Friends & Faculty,

Our office is recruiting student volunteers to help support the 2nd Annual 5th Grade Day, which will be held on Wednesday, May 13th. Over 270 Bristol/Warren students will enjoy a campus tour, explore a major, and interact with members of clubs, organizations and teams. Last year, approximately 100 Roger Williams volunteers gave an hour or more of their time to help make this event a success. An application is attached to this message.

An important segment of the schedule is devoted to RWU students spending time with 5th graders who have expressed an interest in a particular major.

We have just tallied up the Majors that the kids are interested in and 48 students chose the Arts!

Please help me get the word out to RWU students focusing on Visual or Performance Arts that we need their help from 10:45-11:45. We need (7) Arts Students to sit at a table in the Rec Ctr. with (9) Fifth Graders and talk about why they chose their major and what types of experiences they are having through this course of study.

There will be a school chaperone with each group and we will have Majors 'cheat sheets' for them to read from if they get stuck.

Research has shown that by Middle School, students have already formed strong opinions about going to college. The 5th Grade Day program, co-sponsored by RWU and the Bristol/Warren Regional School District, was created to promote college access among our elementary school neighbors.
Any students interested in participating in the program should contact the Feinstein Center at service@rwu.edu or call us at xSERV.
