What does the Spirit Cheer emphasize about first years?

The Spirit Cheer underscores the significance of first-year students being new to the community and their environment. By emphasizing that they are "totally new here," it recognizes the unique experiences and challenges that first-year students face as they navigate their transition into a new phase of life. This acknowledgment is important as it fosters a welcoming atmosphere and encourages the community to support these newcomers in feeling accepted and engaged.

Though other choices may touch upon different aspects of the first-year experience, the primary focus of the Spirit Cheer is on their status as newcomers, highlighting the need for inclusivity and camaraderie as they embark on their journey.
