Order business cards.

Learn how to use the UT directory and the Texas Hillel Database- your two new best friends!

Take a tour of campus - call the Admissions office to find out specifics about dates and times.

Some people to introduce yourself to: Grant Kirk (Towers), Harrison Hemphill and Ben Modleski (Castalian), Nina Stallings (Dobie), Betty Jeane Wolfe (Greek Life Office), and Christa Sandelier (area coordinator Jester).                      

Re-organize and re-decorate your office.

Look at the yearbooks of past fellows.

Have an honest talk with Margo about the history of this Hillel, job expectations and your goals for this year.
