WELCOME TO THE AUGUST 2002 ISSUE OF PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS @ GREENVILLE.EDU

Dear Prospective Students,

Greetings from Greenville College!

We hope you are all enjoying the final days of a wonderful summer vacation and having tons of fun in the sun. If you live anywhere near Greenville, you know that we've had more opportunities for fun than most with all the sun we've had over the summer. But the weather is starting to cool down now, and we hope that it will continue as the school year begins.

The fall semester begins September 4, and students will be moving back to campus in a couple of weeks. For those of you who are going to be new students, we look forward to seeing some of you as early as Wednesday, August 28. For the complete New Student Orientation schedule, please visit http://www.greenville.edu/newstudents/nso02.shtml.

Those of you who are still in high school should definitely check out the Scholarship Competitions and Preview Days that are coming up throughout the year. Information on these opportunities is included in the email.

Enjoy the rest of this issue...and thank you for your continued interest in Greenville College.
