So, What Exactly Are Virtual Walk-In Hours?

Hey First Years!!!!

Hey there! We’re super excited to meet you! 😊 Sorry if we got a little carried away with the exclamation marks—we just can’t help it!

In the next couple of weeks, you'll be getting a lot of information, and we totally get that it might feel like a lot to take in. But no worries at all, we’re here to help you through every step of the way!

For now, we just wanted to start by talking about...✨Walk-in Hours✨. 


So, what exactly are walk-in hours for? What kind of questions can you ask? When do they happen? We totally understand if you’re wondering about these things!

Just to clear things up: Walk-in hours are hosted by me (Riya) and Becca on Zoom. We’re the student assistants for the First-Year Dean, and we're here to help with any general or one-off questions you might have. Whether it’s advice or just sharing our own experiences as students, we’re here to lend a hand.

As for when our virtual walk-in hours are...

Becca’s: Monday 3-4:00 P.M., Tuesday 10-11:00 A.M.

Riya’s: Wednesday 8-9:00 P.M., Thursday 9-10:00 A.M.

All the times above are in EST and the zoom links are attached :)

We hope that helped clear things up a bit! 😊 As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us anytime at first-year@barnard.edu—we’re here for you!


Best,

The First-Year Team
