Today we hosted a reception for our freshmen who are in the honors program. A total of 31 students will participate this year.

They all had to do a video introduction. This is a technique I learned about last year to learn their names quickly. My wife and I teach the 2 honors freshman colloquia classes, and we will know their names and where they're from before the first class on Tuesday.

After that they had a chance to visit with each other, and with the senior leadership of the college.

Many of them used the time to interact with faculty in their major areas, and others met many of the staff members.

This was a lot of fun for everyone, and a good activity for the second day of the academic year.
