I went to the big new grad student orientation yesterday sponsored by the graduate student council. It was informative and I learned some interesting facts about life around campus. Perhaps the most interesting was the list of student organizations, which is lengthy. Here are a few I find intriguing, in alpha order:
1. American Humanics where you can learn about and gain experience in being a non profit pro
2. Book Readers' Association where you can go chat about great books.
3. Campus Cat Coalition ( I may actually join this one) where you take care of the ferel cats on campus ( in the spirit of Ann Brotherton at AHS)
4. Esoteric Mysteries Society where you explore common threads between belief systems
5. Meditation Club where you learn how to breathe.
6. Organization for Reinforcement Contingencies with Animals (ORCA) where you enhance the lives of animals and their human pals
7. The Society for the Restoration of the Equestrian Portrait of Diego Velaquez where you try to save and restore this statue in honor of UNT's individualism.
Some other useful facts
I can go to the Doctor for free!
I can take fitness classes for free!
I can get inexpensive theraputic massage!
I have free full time tech support!
I can ride any bus in the city, even the one that goes to Dallas for free!
I have access to 250 data bases for free!
All that free stuff shows up on my bill as fees, but in this case it really is free since the Priddy is paying my fees. So I plan to take advantage of it all.
I learned that UNT has 33,000 students. 7000 of those are graduate students.
And I learned that free pizza will get college students to stay to the end of your presentation.
