We took a tour of the campus; wow! Absolutely stunning environment! My daughter is thrilled to be an incoming Freshman Slug!
Loved the Experimental Theater production of Peer Gynt. A close and personal experience with amazing student performers alongside professional actors. Congratulations to everyone involved in the production!
A hidden gem on campus is the arboretum. They have a wonderful array of plants from Australia and New Zealand. The gardens are gorgeous and you shouldn't miss the hummingbird walk--amazing!
