Fall, Traveling, Homecoming Oh My!

It is the most wonderful time of the year in Bluefield. Well one of the 4 most wonderful times of the year. We do celebrate all 4 seasons equally. FALL! You just have to love it and the amazing colors.

The Admissions team has been on the road like it is their job! (well, because it is their job) We are out meeting students like you. This is the picture of one of our cars taking a pit stop at Historical Mitchie Tavern in Charlottesville, VA. Go there for a good hot meal after touring Monticello or wandering around Carter Mountain Orchard (The reason the Subaru is terribly muddy)

Last but not least. Today is the start of Homecoming on our beautiful campus. This morning the beauty was interrupted by this display of art (?) Ah, the Secret Seven. Legend has it that President Charles Harman ('46-'72) started the original prankster group. There has been periods of activity and periods of dormancy since the start. The group is comprised of seven students. Rumor has it these past students have went on to become elected officials, CEOs, pastors and even faculty and staff on this very campus.

A list of S7 past pranks:

A Volkswagen Bug (belonging to a professor) was placed inside the Library
Unbolting all the chairs in the Chapel a night before convocation
Pranking various offices with barnyard animals
Stealing the Ram head from the SAC and holding it for "Ransom"
Placing an old Toilet in the Academic Dean's Office
Dixie Cupping the Dean of Student's Office

You will also find that several hymnals in our Chapel have been donated by the Secret 7.

Longtime No Blog

So we have been blog-up-keep slackers. Our most sincere apologies. Here is where we are with the new Res. Hall:

I took a tour of the facility the other day and it is top notch! Rish and Cruise are nice dorms, but this is nice. Real nice. There is beautiful tile in the roomy bathrooms. Large double rooms and fantastic single rooms (which are climate controlled!) Not to mention the parlors on each floor equipped with a kitchenette.

Of course there are more pictures to come as the construction draws to an end!

Bluefield has come to life in the past few days. Probably because of an unusual heat wave that has hit us (Al Gore just might be right! But it did snow on Monday... hmm) students are coming out of their dorm rooms. Greek games took place over the weekend for our Greek Life. With the games have come some overnight practical jokes. It was common to wake up to see your car's windshield covered in Greek lettering with window paint. Oh what warm weather will cause! You have to love it!

Going Green

Blah, blah, blah, environmental stuff. I am talking about the grass and trees. Everything is springing back to life here! An Appalachian monsoon hit this weekend but the weather cleared up for a wonderful, warm, GREEN St. Patrick's Day. So I gathered up my camera and started snapping pictures around campus. Check out the progress on East River Residence Hall!
