The 2013 Summer Program Begins!

All 136 students and 20 prefects for the 2013 High School Summer Program have arrived! The students — who hail from across the United States, as well as from Canada, Argentina, and Belgium — made it to campus by late Sunday afternoon. With their families and members of the teaching faculty, they enjoyed a tri-tip and chicken barbeque, followed by an orientation session in St. Bernardine of Siena Library. The night then concluded with prayers back in the men’s and women’s residence halls.

This morning marked the formal beginning of the Summer Program. Chaplain Rev. Joseph Illo offered Mass in Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel, after which the students set off for their first class — subject: Oedipus Rex.

“The orientation went very well,” says Admissions Director Jon Daly. “We’re looking forward to these next two weeks!”
