Orientation starts TODAY… and you already know how Franciscan does move-in.

Cars pull up. Doors fly open. And before you know it, an army of students has your entire car unloaded.

Throwing it back to Orientation Days past and one of the best Franciscan traditions around.

Alumni: What year did the move-in crew welcome you home?

We love celebrating our alumni who are making a difference!

Congratulations to Rachel Luetkemeyer ’25, who was recently named a DAISY Award Honoree at Fauquier Health!

Rachel, a nurse in the Family Birthing Center, was recognized for going above and beyond to provide compassionate, calm, and supportive care to a patient during childbirth. Even more impressive, Rachel has been a nurse for just one year!

We’re proud to see Rachel carrying the Franciscan spirit of joyful service into her vocation and making such an impact on the patients and families she serves.

Congratulations, Rachel!
