warm welcome The word "welcome" has been a!common greeting around campus for the past couple of weeks. The word is simple, yet it Is a congenial way of greeting a new face or making one feel more comfortable in a new environment. Every Fall term we are greeted with a welcome. The first steps through the dormitory lounges conveys a sense of belonging. Professors, administrators and roommates alsoexpress a feeling of friendship by transmitting this word through verbal or written communication. Welcome; it's more than just a word. It conveys one's hospitality and friendliness. A doormat may be a{non- verbal form of communication, however, a visitor can sense the environment will be invititing. Making one feel at ease in his new surroundings is the initial step to creating a new bond of friendship.
