Welcome Week Awaits at SAU
A fun and informative line-up of activities is set for new and returning students at Saint Augustine’s University. Next week (Sept. 3-8) is Welcome Week – a week designed to kick off and set the tone for the Fall 2024 semester, according to Dr. Cindy Love, Associate Vice President of Professional Studies & Enterprise Services.
“We want to engage them and create some excitement about the academic year,” Dr. Love said. “They made a choice to attend Saint Augustine’s University or to return here, and we want them to feel excited about the choice that they made – not only about this institution but about the unique HBCU environment. And we want students to get a chance to get to know one another.”
