First-Year Class Notes

Welcome to the Class of 2012!

As the First-Year Class Dean, I am the person who can help you navigate your first year at college. During the summer, I will assist you in putting together your academic program for your first semester and I will pair you with your academic adviser. During the year, I will provide you with information and advice about your first-year experience, and I can also connect you with the other people on campus who can help make your years at Barnard even more fulfilling and satisfying.

Your first year here is going to be both exciting and challenging. I hope that you'll feel comfortable dropping by my office to ask me questions about policies and procedures, to talk to me about problems and concerns, or just to fill me in on how your classes and activities are going. Each week during the school year, I will have walk-in hours, when you can ask quick questions, and I will also have appointment times, when you can discuss things in more detail. To find out my walk in hours or to make an appointment, just call the deans office at (212) 854-2024.

Also, throughout the year, I will be sending out emails that contain useful information for the entire first-year class. Sometimes they will remind you of important deadlines coming up, and sometimes they will inform you of special events and opportunities, so be sure to keep an eye out for them.

I look forward to getting to know you -- come by and see me!
