Welcome to Melville/Thoreau!
Greetings from your Residence Director:
Welcome to your first year at the University
of Massachusetts Amherst.
My name is Ray HeBert, and I am the Residence
Director (RD) for the Melville/Thoreau cluster for the 2007-2008
academic year. Our halls are home to the “Enterprise
and Action” Residential First Year Experience (RFYE) community. The program
is a great way to combine the comfort and convenience of living and learning
in the building, as well as connect with faculty and academic staff members.
We have an amazing staff of Resident Assistants (RAs), Peer Mentors (PMs),
and an Assistant Residence Director (ARD) that are working very hard to ensure
that your space and first year in college is a safe, inclusive, fun, and unique
one. We place a high premium on respect for each other and community responsibility,
so that everyone can enjoy their experience while finding a healthy balance
between academics and personal development.
The staff and I understand that your first year
at UMass Amherst will be full of fun and challenges, but we are
committed to helping you ease that transition with our experiences
and dedication. If you need to find us, you can look for the RA
on your floor, the PMs on the second floor of Melville in the Residential
Academic Success Center (RASC), the ARD in the Cluster Office,
or I invite you to stop by my office located on the first floor
of Melville, room 103A.
Good luck in the coming year, and GO MINUTEMEN!
