Hello, Cushing families,
 
Tomorrow we will host our second Virtual Orientation meeting for new students:

Date: Tuesday, July 28th
Time: 7:00 pm Eastern Time
Topic: Introducing MyCushing

As was the case for the kick-off last week, this 45-minute orientation session will have an interactive format. Complete Zoom information appears at the bottom of this email to join the meeting.
 
We will introduce new students to our school portal, MyCushing . There will be opportunity for small groups of students to introduce themselves, meet new classmates, and receive an overview of MyCushing. MyCushing is the central hub of information for students, and we want to make sure that the newest members of our community begin to gain some comfort and familiarity with this platform. Students will receive a separate email with MyCushing login credentials before Tuesday's meeting.
 
On Thursday, July 30th , the Student Experience Task Force and the Academic Office will host a webinar that will focus on the academic schedule. Since the academic schedule will be new for every member of the community, all students (returning and new) will participate on this date. Zoom information is at the end of this letter.
 
While these meetings are not mandatory, we highly encourage students to attend to meet classmates and better understand the Cushing community.

Each week of Virtual Orientation, we will send out a message that provides an overview of the upcoming orientation meetings and webinars. These sessions will be recorded and posted in MyCushing for those who are unable to attend.
 
Please keep in mind the following Zoom meeting etiquette tips to help make the most of our time together:

  • Use the video option when possible so we are able to see you!
  • Stage your video area or background
  • Choose a quiet place that is distraction-free
  • Check your lighting before the Zoom meeting
  • Make sure you can sign into Zoom before the meeting
  • Mute yourself when you are not talking
  • Don’t eat during the meeting
  • Keep in mind the camera is on
  • Keep in mind the sessions are recorded

We look forward to seeing you this week!
 
Sincerely, 

Jennifer Willis
Director of Teaching & Learning
