Kicking the tires
Some of what I blogged about yesterday is now up online.
Here is the wonderful State of the University introductory speech by Dr. Coates - http://www.wfu.edu/wowf/2008/20080409.coates.html
And here are Dr. Hatch’s remarks: http://www.wfu.edu/president/2008.04.09.php On this page, you have the ability to listen to Dr. Hatch’s speech. I hope you take a few minutes to hear it. Definitely worth the time.
One of the things I have been working on the most is our “All Access” series of events on the road. Our web site is up and ready and I hope that if you live in/will be traveling to one of these areas, you will make every effort to attend: http://www.wfu.edu/allaccess/ I think we just finalized the Raleigh date as May 4th - and we are hoping to have final info by the end of the day so we can get the Raleigh site live on Monday.
Today is a Campus Day for Accepted Students and there are tons and tons of eager-faced high schoolers and their parents here for tours and classes. I always love this day because you can almost tell by the expression on their faces which students know they will enroll and they just want to be here and soak WF in from the earliest moment possible, and which ones are still deciding their college choice and are here to “kick the tires” and make some final judgments.
