The long summer months are over and Biola is once again host to a new crowd of anxious and excited new students. Friday was filled with unloading cars, rearranging furniture, fellowship with new friends, and many promises for a great school year ahead.

President Corey gathered the students in Chase Gymnasium to officially welcome all students to Biola Univeristy. The SOS directors briefly previewed the week ahead for students, as kick-off is Saturday morning. The night ended with the parents gathering on Metzger Lawn to enjoy dessert and the students returning to their new dorms to socialize.
