Dear Partnership Students,
         Even though we are well into the academic year we would like to 
take this opportunity to welcome you to UVM and the Burlington 
Community.  As a new graduate student myself, and Mukhtar as a new young 
professional, we can relate to the newness of this university.  We can 
also understand the importance of a successful transition.  There is 
much information to take in and try to absorb while trying to navigate 
through your new life as a first year student and all that college has 
to offer.  With that said, let me just take this opportunity to remind 
you that as a UVM student you are entitled to a wide array of services.
    We know that college is a big step in many people?s lives and that 
it can also be intimidating.  That is why I, along with Admissions 
Counselor Mukhtar Amin, are working together to create a new student 
group that is specifically for partnership students. Our hopes are that 
the coordination of this group will serve to assist our partnership 
students in the journey through the 1st year. For this reason, we 
thought it would be appropriate to have a partnership student social.  
We will bring a few fun games to play and pizza and a few other treats 
will be provided for you.  Mukhtar and I have decided on Wednesday, 
November 15th, 2006 from 5pm-7pm.  The social will take place in the 
Billings Chapel Conference Room which is located in Billings.  We look 
forward to getting to know you all a bit more.  If you have any 
questions please feel free to contact us by email at 
[log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]   I look forward to meeting you 
all.

Sincerely,



Sarah M. Childs                  Mukhtar Amin
