Pachyderm Plans

My friends Christina and Chloe (who, alliteratively, were also freshman year roommates in Carmichael Hall) have both pointed out to me on separate occasions that I have neglected this blog. My apologies...I'm a deadbeat blogger.

However, Amy, Matt, Nate, and I have been feverishly working to prepare for April Open House (AOH), to be held on Friday, 4/18, Thursday, 4/24, and Friday, 4/25. On these dates, the university invites accepted students to visit the Hill, meet current students and faculty members, and attend various events and lectures. Essentially, it provides admitted students with an intro to Tufts. Whether you're still deciding among schools or already planning to matriculate at Tufts, it's a really fun and exciting day!

In total, over 500 current Tufts students volunteer in some capacity with AOH. If you register early, you have the option of staying overnight in a dorm with a freshman or sophomore host. Who knows--you might even meet the "prefrosh" who will wind up being your freshman roommate!

From planning the mock classes to selecting the students who will speak on panels to painting the cannon to inflating myriad brown and blue balloons, we interns will be swamped with work in preparation for AOH. Still, we do it because we all had positive AOH experiences ourselves--and we hope you do as well!
