Summer came to a close fast, and we were excited to have new students join us in the StepUP program for the fall. On Augsust 27th we held our first day of orientation for the incoming students! A whopping 27 students showed up to meet everyone and partake in fun activities while learning about how the StepUP Program works here at Augsburg. On the third day of orientation, the new students boarded a bus and we headed out to Camp St. Croix in Wisconsin. We had a great day of team building activities and high ropes course exercises in hopes of bringing the new community of students together. It was a success! Everyone collaborated to successfully complete the high ropes courses, and supported each other in the process with friendly cheers of encouragement.
We ended the day with dinner at the camp and took the bus back to campus. Needless to say, the incoming StepUP students felt very welcomed, not only by staff, but by the other students as well!
Cheers to a good year!
