Student Orientation is a day in which new students get ati
e
to visit our campus for two days and experience what ecr
it is like to be an Athenian! The Class of 2020 arrived to or r
F
campus bright and early for check-in. They immediately got D
P
to meet their O-group leaders and fellow classmates. O- his
group leaders made sure to give their O-babies a warm g t
n
welcome and even shared some laughs. Bonds were nti
pri
definitely formed that morning. The day began with an m
o
Orientation Welcome hosted at Mary Chapel by Dr. Jane d fr
Lingua, Vice President for Student Affairs. She posed a cte
question to Class of 2020, "what will you do while at the stri
e
Mount?" She made them think about the opportunities that y r
will come their way and how to believe in themselves. plicitl
x
President Ann McElaney-Johnson also spoke to the students e
e
and gave them advice for how they should carry themselves ar
s
in our Mount community. She also invited everyone to come ok
o
b
up to her and introduce themselves and in doing so try to ar
e
make a lasting impression. In the evening, students got to Y
h
relax and enjoy an outdoor movie with their friends. On ort
w
the second day of activities, students got to meet with their als
W
advisor's and register for classes. They also attended
n
workshops that were provided to inform students about ha
programs and opportunities the Mount offers. In the er t
h
afternoon, the Alumnae "Mugging", a Mount tradition, took s ot
place and the Class of 2020 got to pick out their own nter
MSMU mug with a personalized note from a Mount Pri
alumnae. Their mug was then filled with ice cream and soda DF -
P
to create a root beer float, which was perfect to fight offof
o
the heat. At the end of Orientation, everyone gatherperd
a
into Mary Chapel to have a final prayer service. The sC lass
a
of 2020 was pinned with the traditional "fleur ded lis" pin
e
d
symbolizing their official entrance into the Mount vciommunity.
