Arrival Day!

Here we are again! After meeting athletes, international students, and participants in our First Gen program, today The Frosh Arrive! I so enjoy this day filled with promise, excitement…some tears and tons of smiles. This morning’s sunrise was very peaceful, but now there are cars everywhere, Wes athletes carrying trunks, bags and refrigerators, and many a parent wondering what it will be like on the ride home. 

It was a jubilant day…from carrying boxes (THANK YOU WES ATHLETES!) to speaking with parents in the chapel, to teaching the class of 2028 the fight song. Plus, our orientation staff did a STUPENDOUS musical performance on Denison Terrace.

HERE WE GO!!

Welcome to Wesleyan!

Students have been arriving on campus these last couple of days. Some from faraway places across the globe, a few from right down the road in Connecticut. Today is Arrival Day, when the great bulk of first-year students start moving in at Wesleyan. It will be a hot one, but we’ll stay hydrated and welcome all those who’ve come to participate in this great university.

I’ll be out and about greeting students and their families and will post pics throughout the day.
