Pre-registration

This weekend several colleagues and I will be traveling to St. Louis in order to conduct a registration event. This is all very exciting because we actually go to our prospective students and provide them help with the following:

Registration for fall 2008 classes• finalizing their financial aid paperwork• completing their residence hall contracts• taking their Student ID pictures and setting up their campus email accounts

And we present them with other helpful information and their Class of 2012 gift. A similar registration event was held last weekend in Omaha and one will be here in Kansas City on May 4th. These programs give us the opportunity to connect with incoming students before they even reach campus!

Wiggins Walk

This Saturday morning (April 5th) marks the 4th Annual Harry Wiggins Memorial Trolley Walk. It's a 5K walk from Rockhurst down the scenic Trolley Trail and back, and it's a lot of fun. In addition, the entry fees paid to the Alumni Office (Pre-Sale: $20 for adults, $10 for RU students, and $5 for children 17 and under) go to benefit the Helen F. Wiggins and Rev. Walter J. Ong, S. J., scholarship funds. Registration on site the day of the walk ($5 more for adults and RU students) starts Saturday at 9am, the rally begins at 9:45, and we head out from RU at 10. I hope to see you there!
