Don’t Forget!
While my time in Cicerones may be shorter than most, I wish to grow as much as I can within the next year. I am so grateful to have wonderful seasoned members who have given me such great advice to grow as as a Cicerone (and in life) throughout the next year.
Adrienne Feinglass:
Put effort into Cicerones. Always be willing to try something new within the organization, and don’t be afraid to make plans!
If you every feel that there is an issue within Cicerones, speak up. It can only benefit the organization.
Cicerones will not be the same every year. Whenever a new member class arrives, the organization changes, but it changes for the better. Embrace it.
Jessica Alvarez:
Apply to be a committee chair your first year! You won’t regret it. It takes up some of your time, but you get to know members on a deeper level.
Apply to be a spring retreat leader! It help to get to know the new member class better, and your enthusiasm will be one of their first experiences within Cicerones.
There is no way to have a perfect relationship with Cicerones. Sometimes you will be extremely close to the organization and other times you will feel a bit more distant. That’s totally okay. Cicerones will always be there for you.
Amanda Arevalo:
Say yes. There are a lot of opportunities, and you should take them!
Get to know your new member class. Sit next to someone new at each training.
There is no such thing as a single “good” Cicerone. We are all good Cicerones if we are just present. You don’t have to be there 24/7.
Trevor Mylin:
Don’t be intimidated by Cicerones. You are in for a reason!
Don’t change yourself to be a Cicerone and have a certain “cicerone” personality.
Don’t wait until last minute for credits. Get the mandatory credits out of the way early on, so you can enjoy the rest of the semester with events/tours.
Cameron Outlaw :
Everyone in the organization is interesting. Go on small dates with them.
Be self-aware of who you are and what your talents are. Use those talents within Cicerones and around campus.
Never grow complacent. Life is always teaching you, and you learn through your journey.
