A LETTER FROM YOUR HEAD SOPH

Hi!

I'm your head soph Brah, and if you haven't heard it enough yet, "Welcome to Western" and welcome to the Arts & Humanities faculty.

What's a head soph?
I guess I am the leader of the Arts & Humanities faculty sophs. I, along with my programming assistants, have organized faculty day and other O Week events just for you! We hope you can make it out to these events to meet other students in A&H and have fun.

So, what's a faculty soph?
A fac soph is an upper year student in your faculty who is here to get you excited about and involved in Orientation Week, ease your transition into the school year, and be your year-long guide to life at Western. Want to know good places to eat? Secret study spots? Real opinions about courses? How to access academic resources? Ask your soph! You have your own soph but you can go to anyone on the team, myself included. We're happy to help!

You're going to notice that A&H is a small faculty but it's a good thing! We get the chance to really interact with each other and get involved in the faculty. You are stepping into a community if thinkers, creatives, and people just as excited as you to discuss, dissect, create, and explore anything and eveything within the Arts & Humanities. This faculty is your space to learn what you want to, to push yourself, and to do what you want with your degree.

Come the fun times and the essay grinds, we all go through it together. On behalf of the soph team, welcome to Arts & Humanities.

Your Soph Leadership Team,
