The Class of 2022 has arrived on the Dominican College campus. The new students moved into Hertel Hall and Rosary Hall during Freshman Move-In Day on Thursday, August 23. They then attended a two-day orientation with many activities, including sessions on leadership and academic success, a game show, and a barbecue.
Melissa Grau, Director of Community Engagement and Leadership Development, said the Freshman Orientation is all about connections. “It’s about connecting with new people. It’s about connecting with this campus and it’s about connecting with themselves so that they are really able to find their place and succeed here academically, socially, and in every way,” she said.
There are 294 registered students in the Class of 2022. The most popular major among freshmen is nursing, followed by biology, teacher education, management, and criminal justice.
