800 New Students Attend Smart Start Saturday

On what seemed like the hottest day of the summer, nearly 800 new students and their families kicked off the fall semester by attending this year's Smart Start Saturday event on Aug. 15. The day gave students the opportunity to pick up their campus ID's, purchase textbooks from the Bookstore, and take a campus tour. Many faculty and staff also welcomed the new students by hosting information tables on the Quad and providing students with an overall picture of the programs and services available at FC- all in preparation for a successful fall semester.
