Open House Day

Fletcher is filled with new faces today as we welcome prospective students.  It’s an action packed day for them — classes, Q&A sessions, roundtable discussions, meeting future classmates, etc.  Everyone is off at lunch now, and I’m taking this quiet minute to share some of the scenes from this morning.

First, everyone checked in as they arrived:

Then they grabbed breakfast, and found a spot in the Hall of Flags to relax and eat:

They were welcomed by Dean Bosworth:

And soon headed off to information sessions on each of the degree programs, followed by classes.  Prospective students at one of the classes heard from the dean a second time — this time acting as the president in a simulation exercise.  (I took this photo through a window.  Sorry for the fuzzy quality, but you can see the dean at the head of the table, looking presidential):

Now, as I said, everyone’s at lunch, but their bags are hanging out in our office:

After lunch, there’s a choice of attending a class or a presentation by the Office of Career Services.  Then more classes, a tour of Blakeley Hall or Ginn Library, more Q&A, etc.!  A busy day for all of us, and, for our visitors, a ten-hour window into Fletcher life.
