Freshmen arrived on cam
pus Friday welcomed by
crazy upperclassmen
wavy signs and wearing funky
clothing from the ‘70s.
This year’s orientation
theme was ‘Runnin’ Bulldog
Fever.’ All weekend freshmen
attended events led by their Big
Brothers/Sisters or “Disco
Dawgs” that endouraged team
work, learning about college life
and a flashback to the generation
of their parents.
By Friday afternoon, a
little more than 400 freshman
had pre-registered. A total num
ber of freshmen, as well as total
student body was not yet avail
able.
This year’s incoming
class are officially noted as the
Centennial class. Seniors that
arrived back as the weekend
passed will graduate as the
Centennial graduating class.
Activities during orien
tation included teamwork exer
cises at the Broyhill Adventure
Course, a disco dance in Bost
Gym, planned events with their
“Disco Dawgs” and many other
events.
By Tuesday, most stu
dents were back on campus as
