Hi, I'm Dr. Richard Stevens Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs and Director of Residence Life at Shepherd University. Now I want to talk to you about campus involvement. How soon should I get involved on campus? Getting involved in campus allows you to connect to the university as soon as possible. That becomes a personal choice. Think about what you want to get involved with and pick one or two things to begin to develop the relationship that you might have for the four or five years that you are in campus.
