Freshman orientation for our next freshman class is underway with BAM I (Becoming A Mulerider). If your student has not been contacted by SAU regarding BAM, please let me know immediately so we can check on the status of his/her application. You can go to the BAM Web page on this site by typing in BAM in the search link.
If your student has already attended BAM I, you may learn about BAM II, Kickin' It Up A Notch, on the same Web page. Attendance at BAM I and BAM II is required of all beginning freshmen. BAM is designed to prepare students for getting started in college, and it is very helpful for them to have this experience before classes begin.
Sincerely,
Dr. Donna Y. Allen
Vice President of Student Affairs
