Back to School for Oglethorpe University
Oglethorpe Welcomes Students for 2004-2005 Year

ATLANTA – Back-to-school season has officially arrived in Atlanta, and Oglethorpe University is set to welcome its new students this Saturday, Aug. 21. Returning students will arrive on Sunday, and classes begin Aug. 24.

Oglethorpe’s Office of Student Affairs is busy organizing activities – such as dessert with the president and a comedy fest and activities fair – professors are finalizing syllabi for classes, and sororities and fraternities are practicing their recruitment techniques.

"I can’t wait to see the activity of a full campus after spending a summer in preparation with student leaders," said Candace Maddox, student activities coordinator. "I expect to have a lively year of programs intended to both entertain and to educate."
