A NEW PROGRAM Social Orientation to BSC he Class of 1991 had a few extra days before school to get to know each other this year. A new program, The Fresh- man Experience, was devel- oped to give the incoming students an opportunity to get to know each other and the campus. The program began on Sunday with the resident freshman moving in and be- ing a part of several events, but the big day was Monday when commuting freshman arrived on campus for an ac- tion packed day. The day began in the Kelly Gym with an enormous pep rally where all the freshman were divided into groups of 40 to participate in the scav- enger hunt and the field day events. The day ended with a dinner in the Commuter Caf- eteria. Many students met some good friends during the day and many said, it was a lot easier getting to meet people that were new to the school, rather than having to deal with new people and classes in the same day. We were all in the same boat! All in all, the freshmen had a very enjoyable time meeting new friends and becoming a part of the Bridgewater Fam- ily.
