Dear I-Rep,

We are so grateful for your willingness to be here serving our fellow students as a Get Connected Volunteer this semester. We know that all who participate in Get Connected both as a volunteer and as a new student are blessed tremendously in all aspects of their lives.

“Let us cheerfully do all things,” is a principle and a theme we hope you keep for the rest of your lives, and not only for Get Connected as a volunteer. Life never goes as we plan, and we still have to experience some growing pains, this happens to everyone no one is exempt. What will make the difference is how we approach any personal challenges and trials, whether it is homework, dating, work, etc. our attitude will make a difference. “Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.” (President Gordon B. Hinckley) May we come closer to the Savior as we serve and do all things cheerfully “and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.” (D&C 123:17)

Love, Winter 2016 Get Connected Council

“Let Us Cheerfully Do All Things”

Dear I-Rep, Thank you for serving as an I-Rep within the Student Support program; your selfless sacrifice of both time and talents is recognized and appreciated.

Your willingness to serve is reflective of the special environment—the Spirit of Ricks—found at BYU-Idaho.

The Spirit of Ricks exists on this campus because all who work here provide personal, individualized attention to each student. It exists because bishops and other ecclesiastical leaders create spiritual havens for the members of their wards. It exists because caring students are genuinely interested in one another.

And, most of all, it exists because the influence of the Holy Ghost is evident on this campus. This is a precious legacy that we must nurture and strengthen as we move forward on our divinely appointed path.

As an I-Rep you will play a significant role in preserving and enhancing the special spirit of this institution.

We wish you well and pray for your success and happiness in this assignment as well as your other endeavors at BYU–Idaho.

Sincerely,

Clark and Christine Gilbert

A Representative of BYU–Idaho You serve as an official representative of the University, and as such, new students will look up to you. You will teach them not only through words but also through your actions and attitudes.

An AmbassadorYou are an ambassador, a smiling face, an outstretched hand. You are the first to greet new students and their parents. Be enthusiastic and sincere, anxious to help with anything that is needed.

A GuideYou are a guide to the lost. New students and parents will arrive to an unfamiliar campus and community. You can provide tremendous service simply by pointing people in the right direction.

An AdvisorWhether you’ve been here one semester or will be graduating soon, you can advise new students on things they don’t yet know. I-Learn, Testing Center, Personal Honor, as well as lingo such as DTR, MC, or IF are all foreign to new students.

A FriendStarting college creates a lot of change for new students. Just a few encouraging words or smile and a hello at the right moment can do much good and show the new students that you really care.

A Disciple-LeaderAs an I-Rep you live the gospel and represent the University as a disciple of Jesus Christ. The service you give is invaluable, and blesses others more than you know.

Power of InvitationNew students should feel included during Get Connected. By actively inviting new students to activities, attendance will increase and students will feel welcome. Actively inviting means approaching new students about the event instead of waiting for them to ask you.

Instructions• These students are your peers

Please don’t treat them in ways that might seem condescending. (Ex: Call them ‘students,’ not ‘kids.’)

• Pray for charity; that the love and concern you feel for the new students will come across to them as sincere interest.

• Get to know them, relate with them, and befriend them. Be personal and focus on the individual.

• You will be paired up with an I-Team to support the I-Team leaders and interact with the new students at all the activities during which you have no assignment.

• Invite the parents to attend the activities for them and their students on move in day.

UsheringWatching I-Reps work at Get Connected events a few years ago inspired President and Sister Clark to invite Volunteers to oversee ushering and other responsibilities at Devotional. Keep up the tradition!

Manager to receive specific instructions for your event. Write those instructions in the notes section on that page.

• Warmly & actively welcome new students and parents.

• Remind students to register for Get Connected (if they have not, direct them to the registration tables).

• The list at the right is for most events, but be sure to check the individual event to see specific

How to register a new student• Ask specifically which apartment

complex and number they live in.• Ask if they are a transfer student

(so they can be put in transfer group if needed).

• Give them a Get Connected Guide and explain the rest of the day’s events.

• Give them their name tag• Write their I-Team number on

the Get Connected Guide• Briefly explain Academic

Connections.• Circle their Academic

Connection on the Get Connected Guide according to their college.

• Make sure they understand the dress and grooming standards apply for students at events.

• Give them a Get Connected wristband and inform them it will be their ticket to get into the New Student Talent Show and get a free lunch.

• If lines are long then trim the conversation.

Roaming I-Reps• Call the I-Team Leader to let them know you registered a member of their team. • Ask the I-Team Leader for the meeting location.

Problems What if the student is not on the main list?

• Ask to see if the student has an I-Card. Look at the I-Card and you will be able to tell how new the card is.

• Ask what year in school the student is.

• Look for signs of a new student (parents with them, the student looks nervous, etc.)

• Write the students’ name on the bottom of the list, and star it.

Who can I contact in case I need supplies, have a question or something goes wrong?

I-Team/Get ConnectedIs Get Connected mandatory?Please be careful when addressing this question! First, stress the importance of attending Get Connected and the great benefit it will be in their lives. We want them to go for the right reasons.

The official wording we are asked to use is: “All new students are expected to participate in Get Connected.” Please avoid using any other language than this.

What is an I-Team?An I-Team is a grouping of new students from a designated geographical boundary with two current student leaders that will lead them through their BYU-Idaho Get Connected experience.

Where and when do I meet my I-Team?Your I-Team leaders will stop by with a door flyer, letting you know your group meeting location. You can also meet your I-Team at the Meet Your I-Team session. Encourage new students to meet their I-Team as soon as possible.

What is the purpose of an I-Team?To introduce new students with other new students, help make friends, get acquainted to BYU-Idaho, and build a support system

with current student leaders to guide and answer questions throughout Get Connected.

What does a group number mean?The group number helps you find the I-Team that you are in. Your group will have other new students from your apartment complex in it, as well as members of the opposite sex.

What are the some of the activities at Get Connected?Some examples are the New Student Talent Show, Student Services Tour, Academic Connections and I-Night. At the Student Services Tour you get to know campus and key student services and eat free food. At I-Night you will be able to have fun with your friends that you made at Get Connected, as well as meet current students. There will be various activities throughout the BYU-I Center & Manwaring Center. Where do you go to pay for I-Night? You can pay for I-Night at the door or purchase tickets at the ticket office. The cost is $5. Some food costs extra.

What can parents attend?Parents are invited to attend all activities on Move-in Day. Parents stay at the BYU-Idaho Welcome, while the new students attend their Academic Connection.
