This morning faculty, staff and student workers greeted incoming freshmen at Wisconsin Lutheran College with a welcome wagon of sorts: moving carts and strong arms. Volunteers helped move about 125 freshmen into their residence hall rooms in just 90 minutes. There was a flurry of activity as cars lined up on Bluemound Road, then willing hands loaded and unloaded carts and carried lots of plastic bins (and TVs) up the stairs.
Freshmen orientation activities are under way this afternoon. Campus Pastor Nathan Strobel and President Dan Johnson just addressed parents and students, who have a full agenda through dinnertime. Orientation continues through the weekend, and classes begin Monday morning.
