Good morning!

I’m sorry it took me a while to put another blog up, but seriously, it’s been one crazy summer in the Office of Admission. But now, summer is giving way to fall, which means it is time for two of my favorite things about fall: the start of a new school year, and the start of football season. Next week, our incoming transfer class will move into their dorm rooms, orientation begins, and I expect that the air on campus will be perfumed by the smell of new textbooks and school supplies.

Before I totally give up summer though, I want to share a couple pictures I took a few weeks back of North Central’s campus. Why was I taking pictures of a campus I work at and see every day? Well, to be honest, I was bored on my lunch break, and my camera was in my purse. Suddenly, I’m an architecture paparazzi. I only took a few pictures, but for some reason looking through the camera made me remember one of the reasons I transferred here. Now, I don’t consider myself a terribly superficial person, but I have to admit that we have one pretty campus. Take a look and see what I mean.

This is Carnegie Hall. It used to be the campus library, and is now home to our Computer Science and IT department. When people ask me how to get to Carnegie Hall, I always say “Practice.” Of course, no one ever gets that joke. Anyway…

Meiley-Swallow Hall is one of the most recent additions to campus. It is the new home to our Art Department, and also houses our Interactive Media Studies major. It also has a stunning 3/4 thrust stage inside (that’s Shakespeare style, ya’ll).

This is Old Main. Old Main is where you can me and the rest of the Office of Admission on the second floor. Oh yeah, and there’s the Financial Aid Office, the Business Office, the Office of the Registrar, the Office of Marketing and Communications, the President’s Office, the Alumni Office, some classrooms, and, of course, the Mailroom. But mostly, the Office of Admission.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I only need five: How beautiful is our campus? I didn’t even show you pictures of the Wentz Concert Hall and Fine Arts Center, Kiekhofer Hall (newly remodeled and home to two of my favorite departments – English and International Programs), Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium (did someone say football and soccer?), and Pfeiffer Hall. Maybe another time. Or maybe it’s about time you visited campus.
