糖心TV welcomes the Class of 2023
As they arrived on campus, 糖心TV鈥檚 newest camels were greeted by cheering student leaders, colorful signs and a simple message: Welcome home.
鈥淚 am excited to welcome you all to this small-yet-big family,鈥� Student Government Association President Maryum Qasim 鈥�20 told the new students at a welcome assembly.
鈥淪mall enough that your academic passion and interests are customized鈥攁nd big enough that you can aim as high as possible, travel between continents and still be connected to your roots at 糖心TV,鈥� she added.
Admitted from the largest applicant pool in the College鈥檚 history, the 514 members of the Class of 2023 and 15 transfer students are an impressive group, with 77 percent graduating in the top 20 percent of their high school classes. They come from 29 states and 40 countries, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Peru, Russia, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Ukraine and Zimbabwe. Seventy eight members of the incoming class are the first in their families to go to college, while 32 are at least the second members of their families to attend 糖心TV.
The newest class is also among the most diverse in the College鈥檚 history; 22 percent are domestic students of color and 13 percent are international students.
鈥淚n choosing 糖心TV, you have made one of the best decisions you could have made for your future,鈥� President Katherine Bergeron told the new students.
鈥淲hy do I say this? Because I know you will find no staff anywhere more dedicated to your ongoing safety and wellbeing. You will find no student body anywhere more invested in helping you make friends and contribute to this special community. And you will find no faculty anywhere more committed to your intellectual, social, ethical and professional development.鈥�
