Honors Orientation

Hello everyone and welcome to my first post as a freshman at Rockhurst University. Here is a little more background about me:

I am the third in my family to attend Rockhurst; my father and sister coming before me. My intended major is Biology and I am taking Pre-Dental curriculum. I enjoy running, fishing, baseball, school, sleeping, and manly movies (Think 300 and James Bond). My brother Nick is a freshman at Notre Dame High School, my sister Emily is studying in Philadelphia, and my other sister Claire is an undergrad at SLU.

I moved into Rockhurst on August 13th and took part in the Honors orientation. Upperclassmen and members of the Honors program organized two days of engaging activities for the forty or so of us freshman in the program. My mentor, Kim Beckvar, (sorry if I spelt that wrong Kim) did a great job in showing me around Rockhurst. Other activities included going to the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, the low ropes course at William Jewel College, and eating dinner with other members of leaders of Honors Orientation. Immediately following Honors Orientation was Freshman Orientation which I will be writing about in my next post...
