Welcome Weekend signals start of fall semester

by Jared Hatfield, Editor
As the summer semester comes
to a close, many students find
themselves studying for finals and
packing up to go home. However, a
new and longer fall semester is just
around the corner. The start of a
new school year means Welcome
Weekend, a couple of exciting days
jam-packed with interesting events
along with new and old friends.
This year’s Welcome Weekend
will begin on Thursday, August 16,
as the incoming freshmen move in
to the dorms. That night, the new
comers will experience a night on
the town, along with horses and
haunts.
Fun for the returning students
will begin on Friday, August 17, as
they move in between the hours of
10 am and 2 pm. Later that day,
students are welcome to take part in
a variety of events ranging from a
Playfair to a BBQ and Planetarium
show.
For those that are unable to
move in on Friday, there is another
chance to get situated in the dorms
on Saturday, August 18 between
the hours of 1 pm and 5 pm. The
fun filled weekend continues with
opportunities to take part in athlet-
ics and even a Roof Top Party.
There will be plenty of free food
and fun awaiting students upon
their return.
