From: Date: August 22, 2022 Subject: Dyson Digest - August 22, 2022
We are so excited to have you all back on campus and happy to welcome you to campus if you are joining our community for the first time this fall.
There is a lot of information to share with you all this week but for today, I am going to keep this to a few key reminders:
Double check your schedule to verify what you are enrolled in for fall.
Being on a waitlist for a course does not mean you are officially in the course even if you have access to the Canvas site.
Attendance and engagement in your courses is vital.
SDS accommodation letters should be provided to your instructors as soon as you get them.
Course Assistants (formerly TA) should refer to the email from the Nicole Heasley (Dyson Registrar) with the steps to enroll.
If you have an concerns or questions, reach out to your instructors and the Dyson Student Services and Advising team.
We will be sharing more information about Drop-In advising times soon. Please be patient with everyone as we work through the add period, study abroad deadlines, and general pressures of the first weeks of school. The best option to receive a quick answer is to email Dyson_OSS@Cornell.edu so that your question can be directed to the correct person. Please do not email multiple people about the same question.
The major announcement for this week is the Welcome to Warren event on Wednesday afternoon from 1pm-4pm. Join the Dyson community for yard games, Dyson swag, fun inflatables, and lots of great food! Come have a late lunch and play some games with others in your community. More information below. We hope to see everyone there!
Good luck with the first week. We are glad you are back. Stop by and say hello when you are in Warren Hall.

You will be able to toggle back and forth between the two versions to view both Cornell events and Dyson specific ones.
