Get Involved There are many reasons to get

involved on campus but did you

know involvement could improve

your chances at success?

To avoid boring you with all the

research, decades worth of research

has been conducted and the results are

simple: the more students are involved

with campus-life, the greater their

chances are at obtaining a degree.

Your campus-life experiences improve

both your academic and social

development in addition to teaching

you to become more independent.

Be prepared: locate your

classroom the day before

the first day of class to

ensure you don’t get lost.

Safety on the Slopes In Skiing, the chances of getting yourself injured

are comparatively lower than in bicycling, in-line skating, or jet skiing. However, do not put your

safety in jeopardy. You must always be out of harm's way whenever you go Skiing. It is common fact that prevention is still better than

cure, and there are things you can do to avoid injuries before hitting the slopes. This section

focuses on some guidelines that you can follow before heading the slopes:

If you don’t know…Ask!

It is better to heed the advice of Ski instructors

and experts, or better yet, take several Ski

lessons from a competent Ski instructor. For

instance, he will be able to give you some

guidelines on how to fall correctly to lessen

chances of injury.

Wear Protective Gear Head injuries are one of the worst that you can

get in Skiing, so wear a helmet to reduce the risk

of head injuries caused by falls and/or collisions.

Stay Warm and Dry

Wear ski outfit that can resist wind and water.

There are skiing clothes which have wind flaps,

shield zippers, cozy cuffs for the wrists and

ankles, or adjustable drawstrings to make you

warm and keep the wind out. Avoid wearing loose

garments since they may be entangled in ski poles

and lifts.

Stay Fit Maintaining physical fitness will increase stamina

on the slopes as well as reduce the risk of injury.
