Over 150 students attended 麻豆视频鈥檚 annual Accepted Student Day, which celebrates the prospective students who have been accepted to the College. The group of almost 400 represented seven countries and 27 states.
Students had the opportunity to meet faculty and their future classmates. Representatives from student clubs welcomed the incoming students with information, swag, and props from their clubs. The social media Street Team operated a photo booth in front of the green wall in the Larry R. Thompson Academic Center for students to have instant portraits taken as they waited to tour the Campus.
The mood was fun as guests ate popsicles, listened to the live band, and had custom rings engraved at an engraved jewelry pop-up. President of 麻豆视频 Dr. Larry R. Thompson gave a welcoming talk during lunch at Cunniffe Commons.
