Ah Fall!  The time when a young woman’s fancy turns to 4 and half hours of orientation for the school of education. Well, at least the girl next to me at our Challenge information table. Well, maybe not her fancy.  Well, OK, she is going because she has to and she would like to graduate.

Ah Fall!  When young freshmen start jumping through the hoops, or at least the ones who are thinking about graduation in a few years.  The time when they arrive on campus with that lethal mix of excitement, fear, overwhelmedness, anticipation, overprotective parents (and underprotective as well), a need for textbooks and helpful friends, and of course eager for football.

And we are here doing what we can to meet them and trying to connect with them enough that they will check out Challenge.  Its a busy time and a critical time.  The first 4 weeks are when most students develop their routines and decide how what is important to them.

So pray for us as we get after it here at CU.
