The buzz all summer has been how EXCITED and AWESOME the Class of 2014 is. They have they visited campus, participated in Open Houses, Overnight Visits, President Celebration, and Mustang Days. They chatted for months on the Class of 2014 Facebook page and they were ready to arrive on campus. The question was, is campus ready for them?!? After a few brainstorming sessions, a few fabulous leaders from campus devised a plan to surprise the campus during the Welcome Day. We wanted something fun, unexpected, and buzz worthy! What did we end up with? A FLASH MOB! Check it out for yourself, I think it’s pretty fabulous…

“Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I’m not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don’t get in a fight. Ohhhh, back to school. Back to school. Back to school. Well, here goes nothing. ”
Does anyone else sing that on the first day of school or is just me? Thank you Billy Madison for providing me a soundtrack to the First Day of School at Stevenson! Everyone has on nice outfits, sporting new book bags, and the air is filled with a mixture of excitement, nerves, and SU pride! It’s certianly a great day to be a Mustang! I miss having a first day of school, so I lived vicariously through my sister Quinn and walked her to first class which happened to be with one of the greatest SU professors, Art Fifer!
Welcome back returning students and welcome aboard new freshman and transfer students!
Welcome back for another wonderful school year, Stevenson! I’m back from my blogging hiatus…aka Summer…and look forward to sharing with my faithful readers the exciting things that are happening here on campus and in the local area! For starters, this August we welcomed our largest Freshman Class in history!!!! They came from all over the East Coast and some longer distances too-Texas, Alabama, California, and even Hawaii! Aloha Class of 2014!
Our Move In Day was flawless thanks to the SMILE Crew lead by Maumi! The sea of yellow shirted volunteers welcomed, unloaded, and unpacked the cars of our over 800 freshman. As per usual, it was a HOT day! Luckily Chick-Fil-A was on campus to cool everyone down with free Sweet Tea!
After Move In the fun continued with Convocation, our official welcome to the Class of 2014, in the brand new gym followed by a BBQ for students, family, and friends! If you haven’t had the chance to check it out yet get going! It’ amazing!
With the freshman on campus, transfers moving in tomorrow, and reutnring students over the weekend, it is clear-the school year has begun!

Today the Stevenson campus welcomed the Transfer students to campus! We hosted the Transfer Orientation to allow the newest members of the Stevenson community to meet each other, create schedules, and get acquainted with campus life. I am ridiculously excited to announce that my sister Quinn will be a Mustang this fall! The STEVE sticker is on the car, she has the tshirts, and now she has the schedule! If you’re interested in transferring to SU let us know, we are happy to help you make the transition!

Today the faculty and staff of Stevenson University celebrated the end of the year with the Annual BBQ! It was a beautiful day filled with plenty of sunshine! Every year we are able to relax on the Greenspring Campus, dine on some yummy food, win awesome raffle prizes, and participate in the Kickball Game. While the Kickball game is VERY competitive, we were able to be injury free this year despite a few tumbles! And shockingly the game ended with a tie score! This was probably for the best so that we all could go home winners!

I must admit, I love the calls I receive from my sister Kerry excitedly telling me that SU is in the Baltimore Sun! My sister includes reading the Baltimore Sun online in her morning routine. I do not take the time to do this, but luckily Kerry will relay any interesting articles to me. This morning I received a phone call letting me know that not only was SU in the Baltimore Sun, but it was an article all about one of my favorite students with quotes from me mixed in! Check out the article celebrating Shalon Edwards for her collegiate journey. Shalon was displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and after stops at two other colleges she found Stevenson (at the time Villa Julie). She graduated today with a degree in Biology!
Later in the day, WJZ showed up to our campus to do a follow up story on Shalon. Way to go Shalon for your 15 minutes of fame, and for my 15 seconds of fame! I love when the news covers positive stories instead only focusing on the negatives in the world!
