USI - Freshman Programs - Calling New Eagles

Calling New Eagles

Calling New Eagles is a program in which current USI student leaders call new students in the middle of the semester with the goal of making personal contact with each first-year student. The callers are AMIGOs, Student Ambassadors, and Resident Assistants selected and trained to help new students at a critical time during a freshman's first semester in college.

The purpose of the call is:

To ensure that the student knows who his/her academic advisor is
To help the student prepare for the advising and registration processes for the next semester
To provide answers for questions that new students may be have
To identify solutions and campus resources that will solve problems that students may be having
To encourage campus involvement

Calling New Eagles occurs in September and November. During each 2-week calling period, the callers make at least 3 attempts to reach each first-year student. Callers can also speak with parents and roommates if the student they are trying to reach is not available.
