Pool Party 2012

SAU Honors College students, new and old, ham it up a yesterday's welcome back pool party.

A good time was had by all despite a 45 minute rain shower (no lightning, thank goodness). Marlar's Cafeteria catered the event as a donation to the Honors College again this year and little food remained by the end of the party. We appreciate their generosity.

Students frolicked in the pool playing Marco Polo and attempting (unsuccessfully) to make a pyramid.

Wednesday the fun and games subside and the real work begins. Here's to a fruitful semester.

Football team and others help with Move In Day

Move In Day 2012 went smoothly thanks to much help from the SAU Football Team, Central Baptist Church, and Missionary Baptist Student Foundation (MBSF). In the photo above a SUV is quickly unloaded while David Wingfield watches from under the Honors canopy.

Special thanks again to Dr. Deborah Wilson, David Wingfield, and Peter Kandidatov. This year's moving day was the easiest yet. The weather helped to with overcast skies, a slight breeze, and temperature in the 80s.
