WELCOME
TIMBER WOLVES!

Welcome to the Lone Star College-Tomball Timber wolf Pack! We are thrilled you have chosen
LSC-Tomball to begin your college career. By choosing to attend Wolf Pack Camp you are
starting off on a path to success.

Why Come to Wolf Pack Camp?
Wolf Pack Camp is lead by LSC-Tomball students and staff who are passionate about making
your first year of college a success! Every student leader has valuable personal experience, so
they can offer advice about classes, professors, college life and anything else you need as you
begin your journey as a Timber wolf!

What happens at Wolf Pack Camp?
Wolf Pack Camp is interactive and provides essential information about concepts of college
culture, and assists students in navigating through their first college classes, buildings, and
available resources offered by the campus. This year the LSC-Tomball’s Wolf Pack Camp will
be virtual. The Office of Student Life will utilize the free meeting app Zoom. Please make sure
you download the Zoom app to your computer, laptop, phone or tablet. We will dive into
academic support services, navigating college life, college culture and connecting with faculty,
staff, and all other resources available to you.

Play-fair at Wolf Pack Camp
Play-fair is a unique blend of audience participation, non-competitive games, and dynamic
team building experiences all designed to create a powerful feeling of school spirit and
campus unity! It is always an ‘off the charts’ success! After participating in Play-fair students
are excited about starting college at LSC-Tomball and they have an opportunity to meet their
fellow new students which helps take the stress out of being on a new campus. Play-fair is a
perfect start to our students’ college experience! The Play-fair session kicks off Wolf Pack Camp
for the students. “It’s great to see the students having so much fun starting college!” said Student
Life and Wolf Pack Camp Director, Shannon Marino.

Welcome to Lone Star College-Tomball! As the Director for Student Life, I want to impress
upon you, as you begin your college career at LSC-Tomball, the importance of being involved
on campus. Getting involved is easy; join a student organization, participate in the many free
activities, seminars or programs offered on and off campus, join a sports team or participate in
a recreational sports activity. The important thing to remember is—get involved and have fun.
