Opening Convocation – a time to welcome a new academic year.
It's an academic year unlike any other, where schools across the country are facing challenges filled with remote and hybrid learning.
Millikin University students, first-year and returning, made their way back to campus from Aug. 12-21 to move into their residences for the start of the new academic year on Aug. 24.
As expected, the busiest day for new students to move in was on Friday, Aug. 21. Among the first-year students was Ramsey Folkerts who drove 10 hours from Sioux Falls, S.D., to attend Millikin.
Adjusting to college life is no small task. Everyone has a different approach to preparing, whether that's making new friends, learning about the campus, courses or meeting the faculty. Whatever it may be for first-year students, adjusting to life away from home can be a challenge.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for students to tour college campuses and compare schools, and Millikin University is no exception to these changes.
Millikin University is pleased to announce the names of the outstanding undergraduates who have been named to the Dean's List for the spring 2020 semester.
