Greetings from Thomas!
Students have returned, and life on campus is in full swing. Last Friday, first year students moved in and participated in a weekend full of activities.
To say that Thomas has a lot happening is an understatement. Take note of the following events alone over the next few weeks:
- The Ninth Annual Lunder Golf Invitational, September 14
- Inauguration Celebration for Laurie Lachance, September 22 - be sure to RSVP if you have not already!
- Homecoming & Family Weekend, October 12-14.
Lots of opportunities to visit the College and see all of the changes. You won't believe your eyes!
Until next month...

On Friday, August 24, the Class of 2016 was moved onto Campus, said good-bye to parents, and spent the weekend making new friends and participating in a variety of activities including bowling, barbeques, a comedian, tours of Waterville, volleyball, and pick-up basketball.

First year students sign in and receive
information for the 2012-2013 academic year.

Emilee Reynolds, class of 2016, commented on Welcome Weekend, "I thought it was a great experience to meet new people and become a true Terrier!"

Spann Commons (former Student Center) has been completed and now houses "The Dog Pound" cafe and pub, new campus store, and new gaming and social gathering areas.
Additional infrastructure work in the center of campus continues, following the Campus Master Plan.
Turf Fields - the Black Field is completed, with Men's & Women's Soccer set to take the field; the Red Field, the primary field for Field Hockey, is scheduled to be completed by the second week of September.

"Alumni After Hours"
On Saturday, August 4, Alumni Relations worked with alums Cliff Juntura '10 and Jesse Bernard '10 (who flew in from Vancouver, B.C.!) in kicking-off the 1st Annual Alumni Pub Crawl.
 |
|
Alums gather in the Dining Center.
|
Over 75 alums from the classes of 2007-2012 gathered in the new Dining Center for a "first round" and appetizers provided by the Thomas College Alumni Association. For many of the attendees, it was their first visit back on campus since graduation, and they were impressed with the changes. College representatives present included Director of Alumni Relations Cathy Dumont M.B.A. '10, VP for Advancement Bob Moore '79, and Men's Varsity Basketball Coach TJ Maines.
Stay tuned for an "Alumni After Hours" event coming to your area!
