My name is Alyse Stone! I am a sophomore Mechanical Engineering major in the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS).
Although born and raised in New York, I rep Los Angeles and frequently identify myself as a California beach girl since I attended high school there. On campus, I am an engineering mentor, formally known as SEAS Student Peer Advisory Network (SEASSPAN) and live in the sophomore SEAS living community. I attend the Engineering Council meetings, I am a Colonial Cabinet member, and I work in the undergraduate engineering office as a personal assistant to the advising staff, tour guide, and receptionist. Off campus, I am a Jackie Robinson Foundation scholar, and I am sponsored by and intern at the Northrop Grumman Corporation. I guess you could say I like to keep myself busy.
Although my schedule is a lot of times, jam-packed, this week acceptance letters went out to the Class of 2016. (Congratulations by the way!) So, at the beginning of the week, we had an Engineering Open House so prospective students would have the opportunity to meet faculty members and current students. As a staff member of office and an engineering mentor, that is one of our major events for the school year. In addition to the open house, the Colonial Inauguration website went live. http://ci.gwu.edu/students/

| 2012 Colonial Cabinet Members |
For all you prospective and recently admitted students out there, the Colonial Inauguration Program (CI) is GWU’s orientation program for incoming students. That student can be a freshman, a transfer, or an international student. There are four different orientation sessions during the summer that are designed specifically for incoming freshman students, and then there is a fall session in August specifically for incoming transfer and international students. My job as a Colonial Cabinet Member is to run the orientation program (along with other CI staff), and mentor incoming students to assure their transition to GW runs smoothly. Definitely check out the website as it gives more specific details about the programs, students and faculty involved, and other pertinent information. Each colonial cabinet member also has a video that is designed to introduce, what we felt, were important aspects of the university that should be highlighted. I know that my position for CI is definitely going to be the highlight of my summer and school year. (I am so excited for it!) For all of you declared 2016‘ers, I am so looking forward to meeting you!
Until next time: if you have any questions, comments or just want to chat-- I am only an email away! anstone@gwmail.gwu.edu
Stay Classy Colonials,
Alyse
