ABOUT HULLABALOO U

Purpose

The purpose of Hullabaloo U is to create a welcoming and affirming environment for each new student. Students will develop self-efficacy, self-awareness, and a sense of purpose: become actively engaged in the learning environment inside and outside of the classroom; and become socially integrated within the university community.

Purpose

• Your belief in your ability to achieve your goals; academic and personal skill development and utilization of resources build confidence and contribute to development of self-efficacy.

​

• Self-Awareness
• Your understanding of your personal strengths, learning styles, learning habits, and thinking patterns (requires active reflection)

​

• Sense of Purpose
• Development or strengthening of long-term goals and understanding of how to get there; ability to make connections between what you’re learning and your future goals.

​

• Actively Engaged
• active involvement of time and energy invested in your college experience—both inside and outside the classroom.

​

• Socially Integrated
• formation of personal connections between other members of the Texas A&M community including peers, faculty, staff, and administrator
