That is certainly hard to believe it was only four years ago! But lo and behold, my senior year is here.

First-years are moving in!

August 20, 2008 – 5:16 pm

This is probably one of the most exciting days on campus. Today first-years arrived!

Over the next several days, new students and their families will participate in Orientation. Included in the five day program are many exciting events such as a Presidential Reception, meetings with Orientation Advisors, “Playfair”, and information sessions. It’s a very exciting time for our new students and we’re all eager to get to know every one of them.
