My colleagues and I are abuzz with excitement as we prepare for the return of our Honors College students and the arrival of a group of more than 160 freshmen. The incoming Honors College freshman class is the largest ever!
We’ll officially welcome the students back with a pizza party at 6 p.m. this Friday at R.C. Cook’s Lounge in the Hub. Students should be ready for their pizza; they’ll have spent much of the day moving back into their dorm rooms.
Monday afternoon we’ll have our orientation sessions for students in both General Honors and Senior Honors. Senior Honors orientation is at 3 p.m. and General Honors orientation is at 3:30 p.m., both at the Thad Cochran Center. Since — as every Southerner knows — the best welcome always includes food, we’ll have ice cream for our General Honors students right after orientation.
