Started out the day with the convocation ceremony. The main speaker was the University's president, Dr. Nido Quibein. He is an incredible man with an amazing story. Every freshman is required to take a course taught by him. I can't wait!
Saying goodbye...this will be the first time in our lives when Elizabeth and I are separate from each other for more than one week.
After kicking the families out, going to a huge icebreaker, attending an academic orientation, calling IT to fix my dorm's internet, and finish unpacking, we had to get dressed up again to go to the Honor Code Signing. Every freshman literally signs the code, which says we agree to abstain from cheating, collusion, and plagiarism, and then we get to keep the pen as a reminder.
Another HPU tradition is for the freshman to walk along the pathway and put their hands in the fountain!
