A Note for New Students...
Welcome from the Orientation Council!
The next couple editions of the New Student Newsletter will highlight some of the great events we have planned for Welcome Week 2008.
The first event is on the evening of Opening Day. After dinner in the Curb Event Center you will get to experience Playfair! It’s the world’s biggest ice breaker, and it’s two hours of absolute craziness where you’ll meet everyone in the incoming class. It’s fun, loud, and an amazing introduction to your new classmates. You won’t want to miss this!
