Campus just doesn’t feel the same when it’s empty. Now that everyone is back and the semester is almost underway, the paths are busy, the green is lively, and the Woods is full of energy again.

Whether you’re walking past the pond between classes, heading to Tucker, or just taking a quiet moment to take it all in, welcome back to your home away from home.

To the parents who just dropped off their world: they’re in good hands. 🌲

Move-in day is a milestone for you just as much as it is for them. President Dr. Sarah Wisdom—a four-time graduate herself—shared this note for our newest Woods families.

Welcome home. 💚
