While there were many emails and meetings, important information was not communicated in our experience — for example, the iPop selection process, tickets for the Fall Festival, and the limited access to facilities. The first year was mostly a process of learning by doing or learning through frustration, as we often missed opportunities because we didn’t know they existed. - Feb 2025

They just expect you know where/what things are. - Dec 2019
