Opening Celebration
Sep 8th, 2009 by Admissions Counselor
This year, we celebrate 125 years of excellence in education. In keeping with annual tradition, we began this milestone year with our opening celebration. Our mascot, the Goucher Gopher, and our African drum ensemble Fritete led students in a parade of the classes, with each year dressing in a different color. Following remarks from our Chaplain, Cynthia Terry and other faculty, staff, and student speakers, the entire community enjoyed an outdoor barbeque. Wouldn’t you like to be a part of this?
The students march down our major footpath, the Van Meter Highway:
