Louisiana Tech alumni are invited to help welcome the freshman class to campus this Wednesday as the students deposit their Tenet Medallion into the Lady of the Mist at 7 p.m., signifying their investment into their education.
Alumni will line the walkways in the Quad to create a passageway for the freshmen to walk through on their way to the Lady of the Mist. School administrators stated that alumni participation is what makes this tradition special.
This annual event, marks the official start of the academic journey for first-year students.
A symbolic introduction to Louisiana Tech’s rich traditions and values, university leaders, faculty and staff will gather to offer words of encouragement and inspiration, ensuring that the incoming students feel the support of the Tech family. The Louisiana Tech Alumni Association is excited to involve the Ruston community and alumni in this milestone event, highlighting the connection between the campus and its extended family.
Heath Tims, CEO of the Alumni Association, said, “This is a special time to welcome the newest members of our Tech family, and the presence of alumni and local supporters adds an extra layer of significance.”
Before lining the walkways, the Alumni Association will host a casual reception in University Hall starting at 6:30 p.m. Guests are encouraged to wear Tech Blue, creating a special pathway as the new students begin their journey.
