We traveled to Bemidji State last weekend to enroll Katie in her fall classes and to go through orientation. We had a blast meeting Katie’s academic advisor who is also head of the Education Department, some of her new classmates and parents who were as nervous as we were. We also got a chance to tour Katie’s freshman dorm, Oak Hall, and to walk around campus on a gorgeous spring day. We knew it would be a great day when we were greeted by a bald eagle hovering just overhead as we parked on the shore of Lake Bemidji. Move-in day for freshmen is Aug. 20. We are not nearly ready. Here are some photos from our visit:
