Chip Timmons - Honor Scholarship Weekend has come and gone and left an exhausted Admissions staff in it's wake.  By our count, 331 students along with 149 parents took part in the event.  If you take into account siblings of prospective students and other parents who may not have signed in on Friday, Wabash hosted over 500 guests.  For a college of our size to accommodate a group of this size, we need all of the help we can get.

Several volunteers came to campus on Friday to welcome our guests.  While prospective students got settled in with hosts, their parents joined us at our parents' reception.  In conjunction with the reception, we hosted two 45-minute panels to give parents a chance to ask questions of current Wabash parents.  

Current Wabash parents served as our hosts at the reception and I'd like to recognize them.  


Bill and Tammy Birch - parents of Bill '11
Nancy Coggins - mother of Tanner '11
Mark Ellis - father of Mark '08
Dennis and Julie Gallant - parents of Scott '08
Janet Griffin-Koehler - mother of Clay '08
Tracy Haddad - mother of Chandler Troy '08
Penny Leuck - mother of Jim '09
Jeff Line - father of Nathan '11
Connie Marzotto - mother of Nick '11
Brenda McClintic - mother of J.D. '11
Deborah Rushton - mother of Phil '08 and Matt '10

After registration ended, students headed off to the exams followed by academic sessions with individual departments.  Friday's final event was the Honor Scholarship Banquet and the following Wabash alumni joined our guests for dinner.
