#########’s Class of 2017 is as accomplished outside of the classroom as it is academically. The majority of the members have participated in significant community service projects, held leadership positions in school clubs and organizations, and were involved in the fine arts and performing arts as well as athletics at their schools. While these are the most current statistics available, Robinson cautions that “the numbers are fluid.” Incoming freshmen may have situations that will alter before they join 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址
######### in the fall.
Robinson was complimentary about his Admissions staff and the entire 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址
######### community, “I want to thank the community for their support and assistance throughout this busy admissions cycle. In particular, I wish to thank all of our faculty and staff colleagues who went beyond ‘the call of duty.’ Thanks for the extra effort in sharing with prospective students and their families all that is exceptional about 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址
######### University.”
