Twenty-five incoming Â鶹¹û¶³ freshmen are getting to know some of their new classmates while enjoying the rapids of North Carolina’s Ocoee River this week. They’re taking part in a Â鶹¹û¶³ Summer Adventure June 22-24 in Bryson City, N.C.
“This is an optional experience that helps prepare incoming students for the transition to the Â鶹¹û¶³ community,” said Elizabeth Primm, Â鶹¹û¶³’s associate director of admission. “They spend time getting to know future classmates while expanding their leadership skills and enjoying outdoor recreation activities.”
The program is available on a first-come, first served basis to about 25 students twice each summer. The students are accompanied by Molly McGuire, Â鶹¹û¶³’s coordinator of new student orientation and special programs, and a team of Â鶹¹û¶³ student orientation leaders.
The second 2011 Â鶹¹û¶³ Summer Adventure is scheduled for July 11-13 in Bryson City.
