CEHD welcomes class of 2018

Fall semester got off to a great start August 28 as the college welcomed 435 first-year students at the annual CEHD Block Party. Despite a few raindrops, faculty, staff, and returning students—many with family members in tow—joined the festivities on the lawn between Burton and Shevlin halls.

Earlier in the day, alumnus Profit Idowu, ’14, gave an inspirational speech to all 5,000 Twin Cities campus freshmen at convocation in newly renovated Northrop Auditorium. Then CEHD’s first-year students went to Coffman Union to receive their new iPads, followed by their first class with the Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning faculty.

From the block party, students continued to TCF Bank Stadium, where the Gophers won their first game of the year.
