MAN-FREAKIN'-RESA
Mini vans, trailer hitched trucks, and SUVs of several freshmen families
arrived in front of Brockman and Kulhman Hall Thursday and Friday to
gather for the first time as the class of 2015 in the annual events of Manresa.
New to this year's freshmen orientation, Playfair, a company that specializes
in team-building and ice breaking, made its return from a 2010 absence
due to suspicions that the Swine Flu epidemic in 2009 originated from the
close activities of Playfair.
"This year we had to break the class in half to make it possible, which
meant that students had the opportunity to meet half of their classmates,"
junior Bobby Nichols, a Manresa Core member, said.
On Saturday, a new college transition block was also introduced to the
Manresa schedule.
During this block, several on-campus offices were asked to put on presentations
to teach first year students something about college life.
Among these offices were the Bursar's Office, Office of Student
Involvement and Interfaith Community Engagement. These offices gave
presentations on managing finances, getting involved and world religions.
"Overall, it was a great success," Nichols said. "It's something that everyone
involved can really be proud of."
