From left to right, new-student leaders Selin Gok, Kennedie King and Justin Sparapani -- who are also members of the First Wave Hip Hop and Urban Arts Learning Community -- present an emotional performance based on themes of oppression and acceptance in front of a group of incoming first-year undergraduates during a Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) session at Union South at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on June 20, 2016. Sponsored by the Center for the First-Year Experience, the two-day SOAR sessions provide new students and their parents and guests an opportunity to meet with staff and advisors, register for classes, stay in a residence hall, take a campus tour and learn about campus resources.
