Welcome Class of 2017!

New TU freshmen moved in this week!! I got to help a handful of female students move in to their dorm Monday before Orientation kick-off. This whole week freshmen attended various events to get to know each other and the campus better. I had the privilege of hanging out with them as an Orientation Mentor. I was paired with a group of about 13 freshmen and had a great time going to activities and sharing meals with them. Orientation events included some small group time, a trip to Dry Gulch for camp, and a campus scavenger hunt. They also took a class picture (see the time lapse below), which I got to be a part of! (My friend Vanessa and I are wearing red shirts and can be spotted near the bottom of the "T").
