This year a program called “Hosts” was put into action for the first time. HOSTS is an acronym meaning Helping Other Students to Succeed. The program was established to help freshmen adjust to the new challenge of attending college and to being away from home for the first time. Everyone involved with Hosts thought it went well and was succesful. Several freshmen were asked what they liked most about the program. Rhonda Blevins from Wytheville, Vir- ginia, commented, “It was an easy way to make friends and made me forget about being away from home.” Other comments were that the games and activities helped them to feel comfortable around each o er and the school. We hope the Hosts P gram will continue. — Katie Went wo THE NEW HOSTS PROGRAM helped ir freshmen adjust to their first year of college, p! by Peggy Hobbs. 18 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY FRESHMEN
