Welcome Back to a New Semester!

Hello Everyone!

First, I want to say welcome to all our new international students! I got to meet a few of you at the ISS Orientation but I am looking forward to meeting more of you. I'm sure you are all adapting to Madison wonderfully and we're very excited to have you here! I also want to say welcome back to returning students! I hope you all had a much deserved and relaxing break.

I know I'm thrilled to be back in Madison and back working with Reach! I have tons of exciting new ideas for this semester and I'm anticipating some great opportunities for our volunteers. However, one thing that I did not miss about Madison is how cold it is! Don't feel bad if you are also having a hard time adapting to the climate. According to Weather.com, Madison, Wisconsin is the United States' 3rd coldest city!

I hope that the first week of the Spring semester went well for all of you! If you know anyone who would be interested in joining Reach please have them email me at reach@studentlife.wisc.edu or have them attend one of the orientation sessions on January 30 ^th or February 4^th at 5:00pm in Room 106, in the Red Gym.

Stay Warm!!!

Allison
