According to Off-Campus graduate assistant Faye Sanders, the event is especially designed for off-campus students who are new to the area. "We are going to have skits about fears and expectations of coming to college and living in an apartment alone for the first time. We will also be giving out packets. In the packets will be fliers. One flier will be about lockers off campus students can get in the Russell House. Another will be about events for off-campus students such as tail-gaiting and our first meeting with an ice cream social," Sanders said. Sanders recommended that students who need more information contact the Off-Campus Student office at 777-4174. At 7 p.m., President James Holderman will give his annual speech in the Koger Center for the Arts welcoming all new students to use.
