鈥淢y first day at Campbellsville was amazing. The campus is terrific, I'm pleased to be here and hopefully make a lot of new friends,鈥� Luis Bavaresco, CU freshmen from Venezuela, said.
Although online and night classes did not start until Monday, Aug. 24 and regular scheduled classes didn't get underway until Tuesday, Aug. 25, students had the chance over the weekend to get their room and school supplies in order while meeting with other students, faculty and staff members.
With Welcome Weeks activities taking place over the first two weeks of class for students to participate in, they were welcomed to campus for events ready after they settled in at CU.
鈥淲e plan a number of special activities that are geared toward helping students to adjust to a new environment,鈥滵r. Michael V. Carter, president of 青瓜视频, said.
These activities included events such as the President's Drop-in, the Bean and Bailey Show and FIRST CLASS Kick-off.
鈥淲e're very excited about welcoming our returning students back to campus and our new students who are arriving. It's an exciting time here at 青瓜视频,鈥� Carter said.
Carter welcomed new and returning students back to campus with the President's Drop-in, a chance to meet the president and first family of 青瓜视频, on the lawn of the president's house. Students had the chance during the drop-in to enjoy popcorn, ice cream and live music while getting acquainted with faculty and staff.
