If you remember that old song about it being a “Manic Monday,” you would have had a good glimpse into what it’s like on campus right now. I am not sure what the right adjective for Tuesday is, but somewhere in the area of ‘frenetic’ might be a good place to start. The clock is ticking away and most of our offices are trying to get all the final tasks accomplished before the big arrival day.
Some of our freshmen have arrived already for Pre-Orientation programs. I saw a bunch of upperclassmen arriving this morning as well. They must either be RAs or Student Advisers.
As I was driving by a parking lot on the north side of campus near Polo Hall, I saw a gray car that had been bedecked with all sorts of hilarious sayings. The car has a Texas license plate, and there was a lot of funny Texasisms on the car. But I did have to stop and take a snap of this window. I love the idea of this young man or woman driving back to school from Texas, advertising his or her love for WFU. And in gold, no less. I like to think it is gold for WFU rather than Texas, but that one might be a 50-50 toss up.
As I got closer to Alumni Hall, I saw a huge gaggle of students all walking from Farrell Hall toward three large motorcoaches. The students were all dressed in fairly casual athletic gear – t-shirts and sneakers and exercise shorts. I am not sure if this is part of a Pre-Orientation program or not.
In other campus news, Campus Kitchen got its new lounge space in Kitchin Hall and from reports I have heard, it looks like a terrific space. Encourage your students to volunteer there this fall if they are so inclined.
Finally, the Quad looks especially beautiful today. The lawn is freshly mowed – check it out on the Quad Cam! – and it is as green and pristine as it can be. If you bookmark this site and check it on Friday, it will be bustling with activity.
