[civsa] Admitted Student Events

[Denessa McPherson]

We call ours "Celebration" - As in "Admitted Student Celebration" - we typically make sure that they know that we are celebrating their accomplishments (the speakers are told to focus on this and weave it into their key note) and we typically serve cake afterward that says "Congratulations" on it and bottled sodas that are native to our area. :) We decorate with a few sprays of balloons in our school colors (but we don't overdo it. :))

Good luck!!

Hello CIVSA!

My colleagues and I at American University are considering changing the name of our Admitted Student Events. Our events are currently called "Admitted Student Receptions", and we believe using the word "reception" is a bit misleading because the events have a strict format to them. The format features a welcome address from the territory representative, followed by a key-note address from a prominent faculty and staff member, as well as a key-note address from a current AU student. We feel as though using the word "reception" misleads admitted students and their families in terms of the expectations they have for the event - what do some of your schools call your events for admitted students?

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Tiana Hakimzadeh
