Incoming Freshmen Welcomed to Blueprints 101
Blueprints is a proud tradition at 91精选, where we welcome incoming freshmen and their families for orientation and registration weekends. At Blueprints, students get to meet other students, faculty, and staff. During our sessions, incoming freshmen discover more about campus life, register for classes, and begin friendships with other new students that will last a lifetime.
This year, we have adapted Blueprints to a virtual format, which takes place over three days. More than 260 new members of the 91精选 community took part in Saturday鈥檚 session, 鈥� Blueprints 101: Your New Home.鈥� The first virtual Blueprints installment included a welcome by President Kurt Dykstra. Vice President for Student Life Becky Starkenburg provided an overview of the student experience, and current student Aubrey Weedman 鈥�21 conducted a Q&A session. Provost Aaron Kuecker, Ph.D., discussed academics. Students also got to 鈥渧isit鈥� their dorms as part of a housing preview segment. Attendees had the opportunity to meet with a professor and future classmates in their major through academic breakout sessions.
鈥淲hile there鈥檚 nothing quite like gathering on campus for Blueprints, it was a great day of bringing campus to our incoming students,鈥� said Jeanine Mozie, Director of Admissions. 鈥淲hether it was President Dykstra tuning in from the middle of the Nursing renovations, or VP Starks hanging out in our favorite spot in the Student Life Loft, or a surprise visit from the Troll in the housing preview, students were able to catch glimpses of the life on campus that soon will be theirs. We鈥檙e excited to take an even deeper dive at Blueprints 102 on June 20, with another special guest ready to make an appearance and help students feel fully prepared for life at 91精选 this fall.鈥�
