UAT Offers A True Community Experience ![Picture of UAT Staff Writer](https://www.uattech.com/hubfs/UATTECH-AUTHOR-LOGO.png) [ Written by UAT Staff Writer ](https://www.uattech.com/author/uat-staff-writer) [Twitter ](https://twitter.com/uatedu) Fall semester is right around the corner and in just over a month new freshman will arrive on campus excited, nervous and full of ideas and expectations. One of UAT's best attributes is its ability to make everyone feel welcome and like family. Our campus isn't full of fast food chains and shopping malls, but it's jammed packed with tech and intelligent, creative people not only attending but also making UAT their career and home for educating other like-minded individuals.   UAT Provost Dr. David Bolman (left) recognizes the dedicated [Experience Leaders (EXL)](https://www.uat.edu/see-technology-college) who make new students feel welcome on campus. Because they successfully completed one full year of service, they are receiving a coveted letter of recommendation from Provost Bolman that will go into their portfolios. EXL leaders are enthusiastic, outgoing student leaders who apply and are selected by UAT to help familiarize new students with the campus, share insights about life at UAT, work on-campus events, and help them begin to feel connected and at home. Along with EXL members, you can also find other student workers giving tours, working the front desk and other departments on campus. Almost every Monday you will see UAT staff and faculty walking around with black UAT shirts that say mentor. Each Mentor Monday students are encouraged to engage with faculty and staff outside of the classroom setting and learn more about "the real world" or career paths in tech, or even how to make the best ramen bowl on Thursdays in the UAT restaurant. There's a reason why alumni come back and sit in on classes often and how quickly that anxious freshman feeling is only a memory. So if you're new on campus this fall and you don't know where something is or you have a question—just ask someone. Beginning to feel welcome already? So what are you waiting for? Take a tour today.
