Scholarship Weekend



These past two weekends were Scholarship Weekend at Coe - two of my forever favorite weekends!

We had approximately 400 prospective students, plus their families, visiting Coe on Friday and Saturday of last weekend and another 400 this past Sunday. People went on tours, interviewed for scholarships, met current students and lived the life of a Coe student for a weekend! I love all the positive energy and awesome people roaming around campus and sharing the love of Coe College with all of us - not to mention the large amount of free candy and cookies ;)

I had a blast spending my weekend talking to prospective students with Coe College president, David McInally.

It feels like just yesterday I was a senior in high school visiting Coe for scholarship weekend, hobbling around on a broken foot and trying to take in all the excitement of this new environment. I remember spending the day picturing myself as a Kohawk and being so pleasantly surprised by the amount of smiles and nice gestures I was already receiving.

Three years later and I am still amazed by all the passion and happiness that Coe students, staff, faculty and alum carry with them everywhere they go... and not just on busy campus visit days! Everyday here at Coe is an exciting new day to learn and grow, even when it's -20 degrees outside.

I hope you're all enjoying the cold weather and looking forward to next fall when the trees are prettier, the weather is warmer and we have 400+ new Kohawks to welcome to campus :)
