Prefects welcome arrivals with balloons

 

In the midst of a summer heat wave, the campus of Thomas Aquinas College, New England, was abuzz with laughter and excitement on Sunday, as prefects and staff welcomed nearly 70 high school students for the annual Great Books High School Summer Program!

No heat could deter the “programmers” from arriving on campus, ready to experience Thomas Aquinas College’s academic, social, and spiritual life while dwelling on some of humanity’s most profound questions. These high schoolers have come to the Summer Program from all over, both in and out of the country! They are all united by an eagerness to learn and contemplate the wisdom that the great authors of Western civilization have to offer.

Students arrived on campus in the early part of the day, checking in with registration at the Bl. Frassati Student Center before being escorted by prefects to their residence halls. The ladies will reside in Gould Hall, while the gentlemen will be living in St. Augustine Hall. Students spent the afternoon greeting their roommates and fellow programmers, unpacking, and getting to know the campus.

Much excitement is in store this evening as our students acclimate and prepare for tomorrow’s first day of classes! Visit the Summer Program Blog tomorrow — and regularly throughout the program — for photos and updates!
