MWM Center staff

The staff for the MWM Summer Institute is composed of teachers, residence advisors, teacher assistants, teacher participants, volunteers, clerical staff and support staff. Without the support from every individual, this program would not be possible

Welcome from the Residence Hall Director and Staff

Mike Saturday, the Residence Hall Director, Thea Garland, the weekend Residence Hall Director and their staff of residence advisors would like to extend a welcome to all the students staying in the residence hall. You have most likely met Mike or one of the residence advisors when you dropped your luggage off Sunday morning. The residence hall staff will be responsible for waking you up, taking you to the college, and returning you to the residence hall every evening after activities. They will also be assisting the teachers in the evening activities. If you have any problems with living arrangements, please see Mike, Thea or one of the RA's. They will do what they can to solve any problems that occur. We all hope that there will not be any problems during your stay and that everyone has an enjoyable experience in Garrett Hall.

Student IDs

Every student was issued a picture Id that will be used for the duration of the MWM Summer Institute. These Ids must be worn at all times and visible to center staff. The student name and picture can not be covered up or hidden. If something happens to your Id, please get with your teacher or teacher assistant so a new one can be made. Please take care of them.
