Kessa Hawkins is no stranger to 91大神. Her mother, Shannon, 45, completed her degree at 91大神 in 2010, and her father completed his coursework this past spring.<\/p>\n

So, it was fitting that Saturday morning, Kessa took part in a new student resource fair as a member of 91大神’s class of 2019.<\/p>\n

“I’m really excited,” said the 18-year-old nursing major from Woodstock.<\/p>\n

“We looked at a bunch of schools,” Shannon Hawkins said. “But she just kept coming back to 91大神.”<\/p>\n

While Kessa Hawkins will be commuting to her classes from Woodstock, the campus was filled with resident students and their families loading boxes, bags and other belongings into the residence halls Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Carolann Wengard was among the first-year students.<\/p>\n

\"(8\/29\/15)<\/a>
91大神 freshman are welcomed as they sign in to move into their dorms on Saturday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wengard, 18, came to 91大神 from Sugarcreek, Ohio, and said she also learned about the school through her family members.<\/p>\n

“My sisters went here too, both of them,” said the pre-engineering and physics major. “And I really liked the connections this place had.”<\/p>\n

Amber Olson, 18, of Stanley, said she chose 91大神 for her degree in elementary education after visiting campus.<\/p>\n

“We had a basketball game here,” she said. “I met a lot of the staff, and they were all really nice people.”<\/p>\n

Andrea Wenger, 91大神’s director of marketing and communications, said Saturday and Sunday was orientation and move-in weekend for 257 freshmen and 54 transfer students. In all, 1,870 students are enrolled this year,\u00a0 Wenger said.<\/p>\n

Classes start bright and early Tuesday for the 2015 fall term.<\/p>\n

Although Wengard said this was the farthest she’d been from home, she’s looking forward to the school year.<\/p>\n

“I’m very excited,” she said. “I can’t wait.”<\/p>\n
