We Need Your Help!• Move-in Day! “I just wanted to write you to let you know that I would

love to be a part of the move in crew for 2008. Last year was my first year at SUNY Delhi and like most freshmen, I was so scared to be away from home for the first time. It also didn’t help that I didn’t have my parents there to wish me farewell. However, when I got to Delhi the Move-In Crew were some of the first people I met. They could see how scared I was and I remember one of them telling me that everything was going to be okay and not to worry, that everyone feels this way on the first day. Because of that, I would love to be a part of your team so hopefully I can make a new student feel the same way. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you. Jessica Oliveira
