The first week of classes kicked off with an action-packed Orientation Day that got students working together and bonding with classmates new and old.

Blair’s chaplain, the Rev. David Harvey, opened up the 176th Convocation ceremony Wednesday, September 6 with the sentiments felt throughout our community: “It is a joy to see your faces, and it is a joy to be together.” The collective joy was evident as students gathered prior to the ceremony for class photos, hugging friends they had reconnected with at Orientation a day prior and posing for snapshots, dressed in their best formal attire.
