First day of orientation

Today was the first day of orientation. It began with a presentation by a retired Kenan-Flagler professor who gave us a very lively talk on the history of UNC with an emphasis on the history of the Kenan-Flagler Business School. He talked about the men whose fortunes allowed them donate substantially to the University and for whom our business school is named after.

During the afternoon we divided into our sections (each section will have all its classes together) and met our study group partners (each study group comprises of about five people from the same section). Each section then participated in a scavanger hunt. One of our assignments was to have a group picture taken at the Student Recreation Center with each group member holding weights. Once we got there, we were told that many in our group were not allowed to enter because we were wearing sandals. We then did something that you get very good at in business school, we improvised. We took the picture with group members lifting other group members, making sure that each member was lifting some type of weight whether it was another group member or a soda can.

The day ended with a barbeque at the plaza.
