hen students walked onto the campus of Hiwassee College, they had many expectations. Some were great and some were small, but nonetheless they existed: things like starting a “new life,” making special new friends, and meeting the person one would call “roommate” for the next year. One thing most did not expect to find was the diversity found on campus. These diversities make Hiwassee a special place for students to encounter the first years of their college experience. Hiwassee can “Celebrate its Diversity” in many areas ranging from aca- demics to sports. These differences can be seen in a student-teacher tutoring session in the library or when Hiwasse’s Equestrian team performs at various shows. When one looked at these diversities, he or she saw that it was the student body that caused this institution to be diverse and special — unlike any other school. “Hiwassee is different. People here are willing to lend you a hand when you need help. You feel like you are part of a big family. That is what Hiwassee is all about,” said Sophomore Matthew Eng. Trials and joys are experienced by many. Some students faced the trials of moving into unfamiliar surroundings while other students discovered the responsibility of growing up, but all shared the joys of “Celebrating Diversity” at their own Hiwassee College. — Spring Weaver SGA MEMBERS work in the gym preparing for the 1987 Homecoming Dance. s ' V t 2 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY OPENING

Diversity can also be found in the sports program. Students who were not on t college teams could participate in sporting events during the different intramural comp tition. With the variety of interest groups on campus, there were many opportunities to make friends. “Angela Duncan has been a good friend this year. Through music and her strong feelings about God, she has helped me in many ways,” says Jill Jordan. The attendance of international students was another element of diversity found on campus. Because of the different cultural backgrounds, students had the opportunity to explore diverse ways of life. Because students were able to “Celebrate Diversity,” Hiwassee became a unique learn- ing and growing experience for all. — Spring Weaver THE STAINED GLASS WINDOW, found in the little chapel, truly symbolizes the many ways that Hiwassee’s students “Celebrate Diversity.” ■ ■ ■ curing the 1988 school ye. students at Hiwassee wc found “Celebrating Dive ty.” This “celebrating” was found academics, sports, friendship, and, y even nationalities. The academic scene was truly diverse. Teacht helped students more than ever. “When I decided to major in psychology, Mrs. Ann Miller help me decide what school to attend to finish my education. She express true concern for all students,” commented Peggy Hobbs. 4 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY OPENING
