Spring
Visit Day
By

CENTRAL,
S.C. – Saturday, March 20, 2004, started for the
most part like most Saturdays on campus – quiet.
As most of the campus slept, the annual Spring Visit Day
was coming alive! Prospective students and their parents,
some from as far away as Ohio, gathered to enjoy a day
filled with information, tours and giveaways. For some,
it was their first time on Southern Wesleyan University’s
campus, others had been here before, but for all it was
a day well spent – confirming for most that SWU
is definitely the school for them.
The day began at 10 a.m. with check-in at Folger Fine
Arts Auditorium, where guests were greeted with the sounds
of The Difference Praise Band. The band played several
songs, and then the Second Witness drama team performed
for everyone. Chad Peters, director of admissions, introduced
SWU and the admissions team before everyone was divided
into groups for tours. After the tours, the future SWU
students went through a series of discussions featuring
topics such as dorm life, spiritual life and academics,
while parents focused their attention on financial aid
and the process of admission. After lunch, a departmental
fair was set up to give parents and students alike the
opportunity to ask questions and meet with professors
and current students. To wrap things up, there were more
than 35 giveaways awarded, including things like CD players,
lamps, T-shirts and a three-piece luggage set.
