\"First<\/a>
First stop – pick up “stuff”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you are like me, you remember the day…but not a lot of the details. \u00a0I remember our son’s better than I do mine. \u00a0Regardless, you go high school boy to Wabash Man-in-the-making in the space of a couple of hours. \u00a0(Mom, your home cooking also became sooooo good!)<\/p>\n

You pick up your packet of “stuff” and you begin making your way – the transition is incredible if you think about it. \u00a0These young men start the journey to becoming a man responsible for their actions…in simple but concrete ways.<\/p>\n

\"Coach<\/a>

Familiar faces in the group ease part of that transition – for students and parents alike. \u00a0Coach Kyle Brumett (left), head basketball coach, was there to talk a little “X and O” and a lot of Wabash College.<\/p>\n

\"He's<\/a>
He’s tall!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

First Lady Lora Hess seems to be asking Trustee Dave Callecod ’89 where his son, Nolan ’19, got his height.<\/p>\n

\"President<\/a>

Of course, the central piece of of the day is the welcoming of the families into the Wabash community. \u00a0President Hess does that in a very visible fashion at the Ringing In Ceremony. \u00a0He also does it one-on-one – helping families to understand the Wabash isn’t a four year educational business exchange..Wabash is 4-LIFE.<\/p>\n

Yes, the times have changed, the faces have changes, and orientation is better than ever. \u00a0What hasn’t changed is the zeal for life and learning that becomes a part of the DNA of every Wabash man.<\/p>\n
