Dear Families,

Living on-campus is an important part of the UGA experience for first year students. We know that the transition to college is a big step for your student and you. Hopefully, you will find this edition of Bulldog Families helpful as you prepare for your student’s transition to UGA and Athens.

Students may encounter all kinds of challenges during the initial adjustment from living with family to residence hall life. Many students are excited about trying a more independent lifestyle and experiencing new freedoms and responsibilities. There are also apprehension and questions about the unknown: Will I get along with my roommate? How well prepared am I for college academically? Will I make the right decisions about studying, time management, friends, peer pressure, sexual activity, alcoholic beverages, spending money and taking care of myself? University Housing staff members genuinely care about the well-being of each student and can be a resource for new students finding their individual answers to these questions in order to have a successful transition to college and residence life.

Living on-campus may be the first time your son or daughter has had to share a bedroom or bathroom with other individuals. Sharing space with a roommate will require good communication, compromise, and a mutual understanding of roommate rights and responsibilities. Students may also experience new interactions with individuals who are different from them – having diverse backgrounds, ethnic identities, physical abilities, sexual orientations or religious affiliations. Developing the requisite skills and awareness to be success in our diverse living and learning environments may also lead to the development of lifelong friendships through making positive connections with roommates and members of the residence hall and UGA communities.

The Department of University Housing provides comfortable, affordable and secure places where the academic success and personal growth of residents are encouraged and supported. There are many resources available in the residence halls and larger University community designed to help your student transition both personally and academically. This issue of Bulldog Families lists some of the resources available. Our full time and student housing staff members are also knowledgeable about campus resources, so please encourage your student to contact staff within the residence halls whenever questions or concerns arise. We look forward to being your partner in assisting with your student’s transition to UGA. We are excited about meeting your student this fall and hope he or she will have a positive and enjoyable on-campus experience.

Sincerely,

Gerard J. Kowalski, Ph.D.Executive Director of University Housing

Check-In ProcessUGA Residence Halls officially open Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 9:00 a.m.

Early Check-In: Those participating in Sorority/Fraternity Recruitment may check into their residence hall on Tuesday, August 10, 2010 @ 9:00 a.m. for an additional fee of $20.00. Early check-in fees will be charged to the resident’s Student Account to be paid at a later date. No registration is required to participate in early check-in.

General Check-In: All students may check in starting at 9:00 am on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 @ 9:00 a.m. for no additional fee.

General Parking Procedures: Parents, families, and students may drive to their designated halls on the day of move-in for short-term unloading. Once you have unloaded, you are expected to move your car to a long-term parking lot so that others may unload their cars. If you are a resident of the Brumby Community, you are required to go first to the designated staging area and check in with a member of the Hunker Down with Housing Volunteer Staff. More details will be provided this summer.

The Department of University Housing’s Mission Statement underscores the importance of academic success for students living on the University of Georgia campus. Specifically, University Housing supports “the academic success and personal growth of residents” through the many collaborative academic initiatives based in the residence halls. Participation in these programs provides students the opportunity to combine their academic and residential experiences, forging friendships and experiencing collaborative learning with peers. Students in these environments create community, find their place within the university, and develop a sense of belonging.

Creswell Learning Communities – Creswell Hall http://www.uga.edu/housing/academic/learning.html

• Twenty students in each community register for three classes together in the fall semester and one service-learning course in the spring semester. One of the courses in the fall and the spring course are taught by the same faculty member each term.

• These students benefit from interaction with an upper-level student who assists them in navigating their first year at UGA.

• Communities include: Business, Family and Consumer Sciences, Global Engagement, Life Sciences, Music, and Pre-Law.

Franklin Residential College – Rutherford Hallhttp://www.uga.edu/housing/academic/franklin.html

• Consists of 150 first-year and upper division students enrolled in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.

• These students participate in various student-run activities including cultural events and trips.

• A faculty member supports the program in the residence hall by hosting cookie nights, Dean’s Teas, and dinner with the students.

Freshman College Summer Experience (FCSE) - Russell Hallhttp://www.uga.edu/housing/academic/freshman.html

• Approximately 276 students take part in this month-long summer experience to earn six hours of academic credit prior to the traditional fall term start.

• FCSE assists students with the transition from high school and creates connections to faculty, staff, and peers.

• Students in this program benefit from getting a jump start on college life by creating strong friendships and learning to navigate life at UGA.

Honors Magnet Program – Myers Hallhttp://www.uga.edu/housing/academic/honors.html

• This residential program creates a community living environment for approximately 220 UGA Honors participants to share ideas and views from different disciplines.

Living the Mission, Learning for Lifeby Caleb Keith

• The Honors program provides courses in first and second year students’ core curriculum, with enrollments averaging 20 students or less.

• Participants enjoy convenient access to on-site academic advisors and other resources.

One World Multicultural Residential Community – Oglethorpe Househttp://www.uga.edu/housing/academic/one-world.html

• Students in the One World residential community work to increase their awareness, knowledge and skills around multicultural issues.

• Students are exposed to various cultures and identities through regular meetings, programs, activities, and faculty-staff dinners.

• Through involvement in One World, participants interact with faculty and staff from a variety of departments on UGA’s campus, acquiring the resources to advance multicultural awareness.

Language Communities (French & Spanish) –Mary Lyndon Hallhttp://www.uga.edu/housing/academic/frenchspanish.html

• Eighteen students per language are selected through an application and interview process and commit to only speak the chosen language while in common spaces within their residence hall.

• Through coursework, activities and daily interaction in the community, students improve and master French and/or Spanish.

• Students benefit from access to mixed media language libraries, academic credit for enrolled courses and priority registration for French and Spanish courses.

Other Academic Programs – Various Residence Hallshttp://www.uga.edu/housing/academic/aca_programs.html

• Additional programs in the residence halls further enhance the academic climate for the students living there. The programs include Creswell SMARTEES, Get Smart month, Russell Hall Last Lecture and Alumni Visions in East Campus Village.

Making Friends

• Don’t come in with expectations about how people will act, who you’ll be friends with, or even what your roommate will be like. If you keep an open mind, most surprises will be good ones!

• On the first day of moving into the residence hall, go around to the other rooms where people are moving in - they are new too and being that outgoing person will make you a lot of friends fast - that’s important at the beginning, especially when you know no one.

• Don’t limit yourself to your high school crowd. Even if you have a group of friends from high school who came up to college with you, it’s important to expand that group of friends; making friends in your residence hall is a great idea because you’ll see them all the time and its really easy to make lasting relationships.

• Leave your door open in the residence hall, especially in the first few weeks. You’ll meet a lot of people just by leaving that door open.

College & Residence Hall Life

• Think of your residence hall as home. This is where you live now, and you’re going to spend most of your time here. Bring more than just the essentials! Grab your guitar, a few board games, that show you have every episode of on DVD - any of those little things that allow you to be you or bond with other people. Your room may be small, but you’d be surprised how much you can fit in it.

• Don’t worry about not having a car.

• Learn how to do laundry.

• Walk around before your first day of classes to get a feel for campus. Walk out your class schedule, so you are already somewhat familiar with your route. Once you figure out how to get around on foot, it’ll be easier to get around campus on a bus.

• Don’t go home every weekend. Join clubs and organizations to get you out and about. Try GORP (Georgia Outdoor Recreation Program) adventures if you want exercise and like the outdoors or service organizations to connect to the Athens community.

Necessities for the Residence Hall Room

• A refrigerator will allow you to store your favorite foods and leftovers. You have no idea how much you’ll use it.

• Earplugs. Your neighbors or roommate might have a different interpretation of “quiet hours.”

• Foam egg crate mattress pads make every night’s sleep a great one!

• Ethernet and TV [connection] cables. Don’t wait till you’re in Athens because Wal-Mart will already have sold all of theirs to the other 33,000 college students.

• A vacuum cleaner. Your room will be gross by the end of the year without one, and you’ll be the most popular person on the hall because no one else will have thought to bring one up.

• Storage containers that fit under your bed and the 5 pant hanger. This allows you to organize the closet and make best use of space.

• An area rug, because those tile floors are cold in the morning!

• Bring a small fan especially if you can’t control your own air.

• A desk lamp or a lamp that can be moved to your bed or wherever you like to study; sometimes you may be staying up late and your roommate turns off the light, ready to go to sleep; that lamp will come in handy when you have your first all-nighter!

• A stapler. This may sound obvious, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen someone desperately looking for one five minutes before a paper is due.

• A shoe holder with pockets that hooks over your closet door.

• A bicycle and helmet with a light on it if you plan to ride at night. It’s exercise and transportation in one!

• A small tool kit.

Frequently Asked Technology Questions

Connecting to the Internet on campus is different from connecting at home. Your student’s computer will be wide open to the Internet and the thousands of other computers connected to the UGA network. Consequently, the potential for getting infected

with computer viruses and spyware is much greater at school.

Virus and spyware infections can be a real nightmare. They can easily cause the loss of important data such as papers and homework, and can degrade basic computer functions like connecting to the Internet. Criminals can even use viruses and spyware to gather personal information and commit identity theft.

Fortunately, there are five easy steps you can take to protect a computer on the UGA network. I highly recommend that all students:

1) Run anti-virus software.2) Run anti-spyware software.3) Enable automatic computer updates.4) Use a firewall.5) Use a strong system password.

All five steps can be completed even before your student moves to campus.

Anti-Virus Software - Getting anti-virus software is easy because most new computers come with McAfee or Norton already installed. However, both of these programs have a subscription fee for up-to-date protection. Make sure to purchase a subscription that will last at least through the school year, or the computer will remain at risk for infection. Alternatively, UGA’s Information Security department recommends that students download Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) for free. You can download MSE from https://infosec.uga.edu/user/av.php, but you should never install more than one anti-virus program on your computer at one time.

Anti-Spyware Software - Your student’s computer should have anti-spyware software. I would recommend Microsoft’s Windows Defender. This free program offers real-time protection, scheduled scans, and

What You Need to Know to Protect YourStudent’s Computer by Mathew Braun, Student Technology Support Manager

automatic updates in an easy-to-use interface. Windows Defender is built-in to all Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers. Windows XP users can get it at www.microsoft.com/spyware. Automatic Computer Updates – Your student’s computer should also be configured to automatically download updates that fix security holes that viruses and spyware can exploit. Fortunately, all new computers will be configured for automatic updates by default. Windows XP users should visit www.windowsupdate.com to make sure automatic updates are enabled. If your student’s computer is not already set to

receive updates automatically, click the button on the right-hand side of the page that says “Turn on Automatic Updates.”

Firewall - A firewall allows your computer to connect to the Internet, but prevents other computers from connecting to you without permission. Most computers already have a built-in software firewall, and McAfee or Norton will come with their own software firewall as well. Your student’s computer will be protected from most network attacks as long as the built-in firewall or anti-virus program’s firewall is not disabled.

Strong Password - My last recommendation is to secure your student’s computer with a strong password. Attackers can easily guess blank or weak system passwords to gain access to a computer. Students should select a strong password with a mix of both capital and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters like # or $. “goD@Wgs!” demonstrates a good mix of characters in a strong password.

If you follow these 5 easy steps, your student will be much safer on the UGA network. You or your student should feel free to call us at (706) 542-3106, visit us on the web at www.uga.edu/sts or www.infosec.uga.edu, or e-mail us at sts@uga.edu with any questions or concerns you have about computer security and protection. Also, be on the lookout for our Computer Health and Security Fair in October.

Residence Hall SecurityMoving away from home and into a residence hall is a significant change for most college students, and a common concern among students and their families is safety. UGA Housing is also concerned about resident safety, which is why the provision of secure on-campus housing options is a core element of our mission statement. The UGACard is the official University of Georgia identification card for students, faculty, staff and dependents. This card also plays an important role in maintaining a secure environment in every residence hall on campus. All residence halls feature state-of-the-art biometric hand readers that control the door locks to private living areas – these doors can only be unlocked through scanning of not only the information stored on the UGACard, but also of the student’s right hand to be matched with the hand image stored in a central computer database. A lost or stolen UGACard cannot be used by a non-resident to gain entry to a residence hall. Upon checking into a residence hall, each student is also given a hologram sticker to affix to the front of their UGACard. This sticker provides a quick and easy way for UGA Housing personnel to identify the authorized residents of each residential community – an essential feature at high traffic entrances where staff members must visually inspect the UGACards of entering residents. Several communities reinforce security at these points through the use of surveillance camera systems at residence hall entrances and key public areas.

WAPmustnothavedefaultmanufactureradministrativepassword.

UGA Housing also supports safety with employment of its own team of uniformed security personnel, who monitor residence halls between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. every night of the week. Responding to emergency situations, identifying safety and/or security problems and monitoring access to residence hall entrances and exits are just a few of the nightly duties of these security personnel.

Every resident is encouraged to participate in UGAAlert, the emergency mass notification system employed by the University of Georgia Office of Security & Emergency Preparedness to contact students, faculty and staff. Participants may submit up to three telephone numbers and two email addresses that will be automatically contacted in the event that a severe threat to public safety and the health of the entire campus is identified. A valid UGA MyID is required to activate this service. For more information and to sign up to participate, please visit: www.ugaalert.uga.edu. But our most important resource for

residence hall security lies in the hands of our residents. Students must remain diligent in complying with all of UGA Housing’s security policies, including not holding doors for persons who may be seeking to “tailgate” their way past a secure checkpoint, not allowing unescorted visitors to circulate in living areas, and never propping open exit-only exterior doors no matter how far they have to carry that bag of groceries to reach a secure entrance. Safety is our departmental mission, but it is also every resident’s responsibility!

UGA Housing Wireless Access Point Acceptable Use PolicyWireless access points are allowed in the UGA residence halls. However, the follow rules apply:

An Inside Look at theResidence Hall Association (RHA)

The RHA Executive Board would like to formally welcome new students to the Residence Hall Association, University Housing and the Bulldog Family. The Residence Hall Association (RHA) is the second largest student organization on this campus, consisting of the nearly 7,400 residents living in University Housing. For the past 40 years, RHA has sought to give residents of housing a unified voice in policies and programs that affect our students and life in the halls. RHA offers a number of services and programs to residents in an effort to make living on campus one of the greatest aspects of a college career. One of the most important ways RHA impacts residents is through the community councils. Every fall, residents of the seven residential communities on campus elect a council of students to represent them, and to act as stewards of the housing activity fee each resident pays. These representatives work throughout the year to organize and implement programs and pursue initiatives important to the residents of their community or hall. The councils hold weekly or bi-weekly general body meetings that all residents are welcome to attend. Representatives from each council also attend the RHA General Body meetings held every Tuesday during the academic year. The RHA Executive Board also coordinates a number of traditional programs throughout the year for our residents. Our programs are known for having awesome t-shirts and delicious food,

all of which are free. Students can look out for great programs this year including Cosmic Bowling, Aphrodisiac, Kiss

Me I’m Sustainable, RezFest, and many more! The Residence Hall Association has been recognized on the campus, state, regional and national level as an outstanding and influential organization. Its leaders, programs and services have received numerous awards over the past year that we are incredibly proud of. We hope that your student will be want to be a part of the award winning efforts of RHA next year. We are anticipating an exceptional year full of opportunities for your students to get involved and make memories that will stay with them long after graduation. If you would like more information about RHA and the organizations and programs that fall under its purview, please visit our website at www.uga.edu/rha.
