The first day of classes always brings great energy and this year is no exception. Our faculty, staff, and students brought their best first day smiles, and were ready to pose for pictures and selfies with the president!

Not on campus on a Friday? Don’t worry – we will be ready with more photo options and selfies on Monday and Tuesday. Let’s have an amazing semester, Eagles 💜💜
