After ten months of preparing, it was so exciting to finally have everyone arrive on campus for our very busy summer semester! We begin our summers with a meet and greet pizza picnic party. Everyone was so thrilled to be back on our gorgeous Hollins campus, and to reconnect.
One of our favorite traditions during our kick off party is the placing of the characters. These are our collection of about 60 children's book characters created by our own Ashley Wolff.
Everyone picks their favorite to go place on campus... somewhere. Here's Lisa and Liz with Max and Madeline...
and Teresa with the very hungry caterpillar.
We spend the rest of the summer discovering where they're all hiding—it's one of the things that makes our summer semesters so magical. (Here's everyone right before they went to put the characters around campus.)

And I was thrilled that this year, Ashley made one of my main character from
Merbaby's Lullaby. Aren't they
wonderful!? I'm tickled silly.
So, the characters are scattered all over campus, the students are settled in, classes are running strong, and everyone is having a great time! Here we go!!!
