Pro-Fro, StayOver = Wicked Priority Seating?

February 27, 2008 at 6:26 pm by Ryan Lombardini

CHP goes to see Wicked!!

Performance: Sun, May 11^th, 6:30pm

Ticket (Group Discount) Price: $32

SO MUCH HAPPENED BEFORE DOROTHY DROPPED IN. The Los Angeles Times said, “WICKED is a phenomenon that keeps growing. The witchcraft is as fresh as ever. It delivers everything we expect of a big ticket musical-theater experience - spectacle, anthemic songs, a cathartic story - and makes the most of an irresistible theme: the indelible bond of friendship.”

READ THIS CLOSELY:

Interested in CHP group tickets to Wicked?

We have 40 tickets ordered.  Here’s how sign-ups will work:

Starting Monday, March 3^rd @ 9:00 a.m.,

ONLY those students who have submitted a

PRO-FRO message (eee.uci.edu/survey/profro_08)

or turned in a CHP StayOver Application

can begin signing up in the honors office.

WE ANTICIPATE THESE TICKETS TO GO FAST. MAXIMUM OF 2 PER CHP STUDENT. YOU MUST PAY WHEN YOU SIGN UP.

PRO-FRO

Prospective Freshmen Outreach (Pro-Fro) targets next year’s incoming freshmen who have been accepted to the Campuswide Honors Program. This is one of many opportunities you’ll have to share your UCI and CHP experiences with prospective freshmen and answer some of their questions. This is the first year that students will receive a personalized message via email, as opposed to postcards. Your voice is important, as prospective students want to hear about the CHP experience from a current student.  All you need to do is complete the short form - via a EEE survey - and we’ll send your message out to prospective CHP students.

Online Submission Form:  eee.uci.edu/survey/profro_08

Be a CHP Stay Over Host!

To host, you must live on campus in either Mesa Court, Middle Earth, or Arroyo Vista. Not restricted to residents of the CHP halls, but you must be a current CHP student.

The Stay-Over Program (SOP) at UC Irvine offers prospective students the chance to experience what college life is really like by sharing a typical day with a UCI student. Guests are paired with SOP hosts of the same gender according to major and interests indicated on the application.

We will sponsor two Stay-Over dates specifically for prospective CHP students on April 3rd and 10th (first two Thursdays of spring quarter). As a CHP host, you will guide these prospective students around UCI, take them to your classes, and introduce them to the CHP. Your willingness to share your experiences about UCI and the CHP is what makes this program a success!

To participate as a host, you need to fill out an application and return it to the CHP Office by Friday, March 14. You can volunteer to host for one or both dates. Applications are now available in the Honors Office, online, or from a CHP HA or RA. There will be activities going on in either AV or one of the honors freshmen halls both stay-over nights in case you’re worried about what to do with your guest. We don’t expect you to entertain them by yourself the entire time! 

All Hosts get a FREE T-shirt and meal passes to eat in the commons with their guest.

Download a Host Application form online:  2008 CHP-SOP Host App.pdf

Please submit your completed form to the Honors Office.
