Subject: Requesting Your Support for New Seawolf Winter Welcome 2023 To: All Faculty and Staff Dear Colleagues on East, West, and Southampton Campuses, This January, we are excited to welcome 800 new undergraduates to our Stony Brook community. We are hoping to make this year's New Seawolf Winter Welcome (NSWW) events, from January 19-21, even better than the past, and to accomplish that, we need your help!
During NSWW, each student will experience a broad range of learning opportunities, consisting of required programs and Weeks of Welcome (WOW) programming. There are 2 required programs for which we're seeking support from faculty and staff to facilitate: “Seawolves: This Is Us” and “Professor Tell All”. Seawolves: This Is Us is a diversity workshop designed to introduce new students to our multicultural campus environment, community values, and expectations for fostering respect and civility. Please consider serving as a facilitator for one or two of the 90-minute in-person workshops that will be presented to small groups of up to 40 students. The workshops will be held Friday, January 20:
Professor Tell All is an academic workshop designed to be an informal conversation that gives transfer students a glimpse of academic life and faculty expectations, as well as the opportunity to ask questions and gain tips and strategies for success. Please consider serving as a facilitator for one or two of the 50-minute in-person workshops that will be presented to small groups of up to 40 students. The workshops will be held Friday, January 20:
Please click here to sign up for one or more workshops by January 5, 2023. We will send you a confirmation of your assigned workshop(s) on January 6, and will

engaging opportunities for involvement and community building. We are seeking your
support and creativity in hosting events to welcome our new and returning students
