It’s always a great feeling as an Admissions Officer to welcome in a new class. It feels like the culmination of at least a year of hard work, and it’s incredible to finally see all of the faces and personalities you have been working with over the past year on campus, finally ready to begin their journeys. We can’t celebrate for too long, though; pretty soon, we’ll be out on the road getting ready to bring in next year’s class!

Below are some photo highlights from the day!
