Starting day two of Orientation with pancakes and new connections! 🥞
Our new Beacons spent the morning getting to know Bushnell professors in their academic area of interest, asking questions, and building relationships that will carry into the year ahead.
Closing out the first day of Orientation by connecting our newest Beacons to the Bushnell community through the President’s Dinner, prayer over our students, and Twining of the Ivy — our annual tradition symbolizing our shared unity in Christ and the beginning of a new chapter together.
We’re grateful for all the families who joined us today, and we can’t wait to see our new Beacons continue building connections and finding their place at Bushnell throughout the rest of Orientation!
