This past Sunday Stevens hosted the Accepted Students Reception. For everyone involved, this day is highly anticipated, especially because it involves free food and entertainment! As a member and tri-captain of the field hockey team, myself (Erin Broderick), Liz Zmijewski (a fellow tri-captain), and Allison Shields (a graduating captain) met our team’s incoming freshman in the Schaefer lobby. We had the opportunity to grab coffee, tea, and choose between an assortment of breakfast pastries and fruit while we got to know each other. Ten of our incoming freshman came to the event, including some who traveled 5 or more hours to get here! It’s really exciting to have so many new additions to our team. Each one of them has so much to offer.
We chatted until President Hal Raveche and a few of our peers gave speeches in Canavan arena and made plans to meet again at 4pm. This time our whole team participated in the meet and greet! We met outside of Walker Gymnasium, where the jazz band provided entertainment and hors d'oeuvres and desserts were served. I was really excited that there was sushi, it’s my favorite. I’m only disappointed I did not have a chance to make a trip to the chocolate fountain for chocolate covered strawberries.
What a way to celebrate the amazing class that Stevens accepted this year. The rain held out for a beautiful sunny day and the food and speeches were wonderful. The class of 2013 seem like they have a lot to offer. The reception provided the beginning of the excitement that I have for our field hockey program and our future. Now I only have to wait for August!
