On 8/20/18 and 8/21/18 I volunteered to run the welcome table to greet our students. I welcomed students, passed out healthy snacks, provided literature, answered questions, and encouraged students to participate in a game to win prizes. The goal of this event was to create a sense of community within the department and build positive rapport. I truly believe that building positive relationships is vital. In addition to increasing student retention, I will be a more effective teacher if I can relate to my students and we share mutual respect.
