Growing Where You’re Planted: How to Embrace a New Community
When a tree is ripped up from the soil it must be quickly transplanted into new soil to keep from going into shock and dying; how much more do people who are relocating need to preserve their life by laying roots in a new community. Making friends and getting connected in a new place is essential to becoming an established part of civic engagement. Those two elements of establishment are easy to write but require intentional effort to be actualized. By looking at how the use of interpersonal, organizational, and technological communication expedites a newcomer’s integration, readers will be better informed of how to make a smooth transition if they ever have to embrace a new community.
