Dear Fulbrights, We are very happy to welcome you to CESL. We are excited you are coming to Tucson, and we hope to make your 3-week orientation a useful pre-academic experience. When you have your flight arrival information, please email me, Helen Abdulaziz, and we will do our best to greet you at the airport, help you on to the Stagecoach and meet you at the dorm. hta@email.arizona.edu The most important thing you can take care of before you arrive is your MMR immunizations. Immunizations As all other students at CESL, you must bring proof of MMR ( Measles, mumps & rubella) immunization. Please read the web page for details. If you do not have proof of immunization you may want to be immunized at home where it is less expensive than here. You must be immunized here before you can start class. MMR at the Campus health center is $52.00. I have included below more details about your arrival and program. I look forward to seeing you soon, here in Tucson. Helen. |

My name is Helen Abdulaziz and I will be the coordinator for your program. We plan to have 3 teachers and 6 peer counselors to work with you. See the staff and faculty bios below. Here is some general information about CESL and the UA.
Remember it is hot in Tucson in the summer; bring summer clothes. We also tend to be very informal in dress. Look through the UA and CESL photos. Because it is so hot, everyone has a swimming pool and you have access to the UA swimming pool. That is the coolest place to be on weekends and after classes! Our first Welcome is a bar-b-que at the CESL Director's house. Swimming is a must. Bring your suit. Health Insurance While at CESL your will be covered by our health insurance for major illness or accidents. For routine and urgent medical care, your primary care will be the Campus Health Center. The University of Arizona Check it out... Tucson Check it out ..

Arrival in Tucson International Airport. We are expecting you to arrive on Saturday, July 14, and we will have someone at the airport most of that day to greet you downstairs in the baggage area and help you get on the Arizona Stagecoach which will take you to the assigned dormitory, Coronado . Be sure to let us know of your arrival time. In case you have any lost or missed flights and you cannot notify us, take the Arizona Stagecoach, located in the baggage area, to your assigned dorm, Coronado. The Stagecoach will have a list of your names. If your luggage does not arrive with you, it is VERY important that you file a lost baggage claim with the airline that you arrived in Tucson on. The airlines have offices in the baggage area near the machine the bags arrive on. On the claim give your street address as 822 E. Fifth Street, Coronado Residence Hall with a phone number of the desk 626-7457 after 9 AM. Check In Instructions for Coronado . Ask the Arizona Stagecoach to take you to Coronado Residence Hall (map) at 822 E. Fifth Street on the university campus. There is 24 hour check in. When you check in, ask for a phone to take to your room. All the rooms have phone lines and you can get a phone from the desk. There will also be sheets and a towel provided. You will have to make your own bed!
