The reason that I decided to be a FAC
was that I didn't know anybody coming to Duke.
And my FAC really made a difference
in easing that transition to college and to Duke
specifically.
I personally loved my FAC my freshman year.
I thought she was so awesome and so sweet.
And I decided, in turn, to apply to be a FAC because I wanted
it to be a way of paying back.
I wanted to meet the next generation of Duke students
and also provide to them the same welcome and sense of home
that I got when I came here.
I really credit the FAC program with creating
community in Brown during O-Week, my first year.
And so one of the reasons that I applied to be a FAC
is so I could bring that community to a next generation
of Brown residents.
One of the most important qualities of being a FAC
is being able to build a community, first and foremost.
A FAC serves as a friend and someone
the first-years can look up to.
As a FAC, you have that responsibility
to change the culture.
And there are things that maybe we don't totally
love about Duke but we can convey in a way
where we're building up Duke and each other.
When you see the FACs on Move-In Day
and you see them representing a lot of different identities,
it makes people feel welcome and comfortable in their new home.
By having FACs who are able to represent
all of those diverse interests and passions,
we're able to have conversations that maybe change
the way we think about things and change the way
that we represent Duke and all of what
is going to come with Duke to our first-year students.
The FAC program, for me, has helped
teach me how to lead a group and connect with people
on an individual level.
Sometimes at Duke, there's this notion that you have to know
everything, but you don't.
Being a FAC teaches you how to utilize the resources
around you, not only to help your FAClets but also yourself.
Whether you're a first-year, sophomore, or junior,
being a part of the FAC program can really
help you branch out of your comfort zone, meet new people,
and interact with peers at Duke that you haven't met before.
One of the things I most appreciate about the FAC group
that came together for Trinity was just the diversity
of thought and of experiences.
Being able to work with people from all different backgrounds,
all different stories, all different ideas, viewpoints,
and interests has made a really positive impact on the way
that I look at the world and just
my deep experience in general.
Being a FAC for one year is great.
You can help mentor your FAClets throughout their first year
experience at Duke.
But what's so great about the FAC program
is that it's something you can be involved in throughout all
of your time at Duke.
If you're on the fence about whether or not
you should apply to be a FAC, just
think about your O-Week experience.
Did you love it?
Or maybe not so much.
Well, by applying, you have the opportunity
to make an impact in the next group of first-years'
experience.
To someone who's considering being a FAC,
the first thing I would say is don't be afraid of Move-In Day.
It was long, and it was sweaty.
But it was honestly one of the most fun experiences I've had.
Seeing people get out of the car being
so excited to come to Duke honestly filled me
with so much positive energy and so much excitement.
The infectious enthusiasm of Orientation Week-- that does
generate just a lot of excitement and energy.
And so you do get to that point where you are super excited.
But you can be a little quieter and still
be a super fantastic, fantabulous FAC.
I think sometimes people think of FACs as just people who
are super extroverted or super peppy
or have loved everything about Duke.
But I think it's really important to keep in mind
that we need all sorts of experiences,
all sorts of personalities to be in the FAC program.
The beauty of the FAC program is that you
can stay true to yourself and showcase who you are,
which is just a representation of Duke itself.
You have something unique to offer to the FAC program,
and we would be thrilled if you decided
to join our awesome family.
