A big campus welcome

The campus teemed with energy as students arrived for the start of the 2022–23 academic year in August. Students were welcomed with smiles and help from classmates, staff members and President Michaele Whelan as they moved into their residence halls. After settling in, students took part in some college traditions, including a welcoming ceremony for first-year and transfer students featuring Whelan and other campus leaders; and a candle-lighting on the Dimple as part of Chapel Night. On the first day of classes, the campus community came together for Opening Convocation. This year’s keynote address, “Living Democracy,” was delivered by Professor of Practice Nick Dorzweiler.
