First Day – Spring Semester 2010
On a cold wintery day, new and returning students arrive to a new 90,000 sq/ft state-of-the-art Health, Fitness and Athletics Complex and continuing construction of the Family and Consumer Studies Building & Bookstore and Media Arts Center. For some students the challenge was to find an available class in which he/she could enroll. But for others, long lines to buy text books didn’t seem to faze anyone as students waited patiently while reconnecting with friends. See first day photos
