The Fountain

Interested in learning the keys to success? The freshmen members of  i.d.e.a.l. will explain it to you at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Student Center, Room 213 and Room 214.

The success fair, called “I Just Want to be Successful,” will include guest faculty and staff speakers who will discuss success in the areas of personal relationships, academics, health and work.

The i.d.e.a.l. Freshman Leadership Team raised money for the event last month at Zaxby’s restaurant on Dave Ward Drive. For four hours on March 3, Zaxby’s agreed to donate 10 percent of its sales to the program.

I.d.e.a.l. is a mentoring program designed to mold promising freshmen into campus leaders. Freshmen are chosen based on the principle of diversity in race, gender and background. They are taught advanced leadership skills, including ethics, communication, conflict resolution and networking.

The program was founded here about 10 years ago and is partially funded by the Student Government Association.

The fair will last until 6 p,m. It is free and everyone is invited to attend. Refreshments will be available and door prizes will be awarded.
