Thank You from Admissions and Student Affairs
We want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who joined us Tuesday, June 23, for our Postcards and Potluck event. Thanks to your incredible generosity and school spirit, our tables were overflowing with an amazing spread of delicious food, and the Welcome Center was packed with great energy, conversation and connection. Most importantly, because of your hard work and dedication, we successfully completed hand-writing welcome postcards to every single incoming freshman and transfer student. Your personal messages, campus tips and warm words of encouragement will mean the world to our new students as they prepare to join our campus community. Whether you brought a favorite dish, shared your favorite campus traditions on a postcard or simply stopped by to help us write, your support made the afternoon a resounding success. Thank you for showing our incoming class why it is Good To Be Golden.
