The Saint Peter\u2019s Orientation Team, or O-Team, spent their summer welcoming the Class of 2020 to campus during Peacock Prep days, which were held in July and August. These events served as a way for new students to acclimate themselves to campus and get to know their fellow classmates.<\/p>\n During the Peacock Prep days, the class was given solid advice on how to be successful as students. They were advised to get involved with clubs and programs and to become friends with at least one faculty member. In addition, they were reminded that they are students now, but they will be alumni forever.<\/p>\n Open House, orientation and Peacock Prep days were the \u201cI love Saint Peter\u2019s University,\u201d said Franci Hric \u201913, who attended Peacock Prep with her son, Dustin Ezzo \u201920. Hric fondly recalled taking classes at night while she was working. Hric remembers the University providing her hands-on help and as such, she strongly encouraged her son to attend.\u00a0 She currently works in the field of data science and her son looks forward to following in his mother\u2019s footsteps. He is a business major with a concentration in data science.<\/p>\n
<\/a>This week marked the beginning of the 2016 fall semester for Saint Peter\u2019s and the University was proud to welcome \u00a0a record-breaking number of new students to campus –\u00a0 640 freshmen and 94 transfer students. Move-in days and freshmen orientation were held over the weekend, but for many new students, preparation started much earlier.<\/p>\n
<\/a> first time many of the new students were on\u00a0campus; however, some members of the Class of 2020 have a much longer history with Saint Peter\u2019s University as their parents once walked the same hallways when they were students themselves. These \u201clegacy\u201d students are the next generation of peacocks and they are carrying on the family tradition of studying at Saint Peter\u2019s.<\/p>\n
