Dear Student: On behalf of the programs and services staff comprising the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, I want to extend to you a warm welcome to the University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM). I believe our University to be a special place and a special community. I hope you can experience the distinctiveness of our quaint, but progressive campus and whether you are a new or continuing student, I encourage you to take advantage of our many services and the countless opportunities available to you in the Division of Student Affairs. The pursuit of your academic degree is the major purpose of your attendance at UAM. However, the University abounds with opportunities beyond the classroom that can enhance your personal growth and development. Getting involved is not difficult on our campus. Whether you desire to play sports, participate in an organization, serve as a student tutor, or to experience other world cultures, we have a place for you. The University of Arkansas at Monticello has a number of programs and services that can assist your needs. For example, UAM hosts over 60 campus organizations that provide a stimulating and interesting venue for learning life skills, as well as enriching your educational tenure. In addition, many offices offer on-campus employment for UAM students. As a member of the UAM community, you have an obligation to uphold a high standard of behavior and to help create a community that values scholarship, leadership, citizenship, and diversity. I encourage you to become a part of campus efforts to maintain a safe, positive, respectful, and healthy community. The Student Handbook is an invaluable campus resource for you. It provides an explanation of campus services, policies, and information. Additionally, it describes established standards of conduct that help us preserve an environment that is conducive to learning and protecting individual rights. The UAM Student Handbook is available on-line. Please take the time to read about the opportunities and expectations of your new community. Finally, stretch yourself, attend class, get involved, and grow! These can and will be the best years of your life. Best wishes for a rewarding and meaningful year! Sincerely,
