The semester kicked off to a great start Friday with freshman move-in day. Our 160 newest students moved into Hattiesburg and Mississippi Halls, and we thought it best to celebrate a day of unpacking with a pizza party in R.C. Cook's Lounge in the Hub early Friday evening. (Many thanks to my incredible colleagues who put it all together.) The pizza was good, but the company was great. The best part was watching strangers turn into friends in every corner of the room. My hunch is that this is going to be a great school year.
