BIG RECRUITING DAY

Today (and tomorrow) we hosted a large group of high school runners and their families. It turned out to a beautiful day - sunny and warm and not a cloud in the sky. We had a nice lunch to start the day off and then toured campus. Then we checked everyone into their hotel rooms and then we all went for a run on a 5 mile dirt road near campus. Tonight the runners will go to dinner and socialize most of the evening.

Tomorrow we have a morning gym session. After breakfast we'll have individual meetings with runners and their parents to go over admissions information and to answer any questions they might have. During lunch we'll have a presentation by Dr. Doug Wymer head of the biology program. After lunch we'll have academic appointments with faculty from the departments in which the recruits want to major. We'll also have a presentation by Dr. Lesa Shaul, head of the Honors Program.

Finally, we'll have an easy run to cap off the visit and then a good-bye dinner. It will be a hectic 2 day period but we are hopeful the recruits will like what they see and decide to come to UWA next Fall.
