Kickin' Off the Year Right


Alongside the fountains on the beautiful Avila
      University campus, students met to eat and enjoy a
      day of relaxing and mingling at the 2012 AU
      Campus Kickoff.
Sophomore Kori Weatherspoon met with freshmen Abbey Rice and Jennifer Quezada to enjoy food and fun between classes at this year’s AU Campus Kickoff on Thursday August 30th 2012.  Students enjoyed a free picnic on the lawn of the Quad with music and lots of activities including, balloon artists and free massages. The weather was perfect as students walked from table to table learning about the different organizations on campus and ways in which they could get involved. Freshman Abbey Rice stated, “I’m really looking forward to making new lifelong friends and becoming a better person through my experiences here at Avila!”

                The kickoff was one of the first opportunities for some to get out and meet their classmates outside of the classroom setting. Student organizations also took this as an opportunity to attract new students by handing out flyers and candy and allowing students who were interested to have more information about their organization. Freshman Jennifer Quezada said that she was “looking for a fun college experience, and a chance to make a difference this year,” after seeing all the different ways in which she could become more involved on campus.
