Could You Be Our Freshman?

51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Admissions hosted Pioneer Preview on November 6. Previously called Gold Rush, the event is held every Fall semester. Pioneer Preview is a sneak peek into what 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ can offer to potential incoming students. Throughout the day, high school students participated in a campus-wide scavenger hunt, attended a lunch panel with professors, and visited various areas of 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ’s campus. Shaney Brewer is the Associate Director of Admission.

“Pioneer Preview is the best way to learn about 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Baptist University,” Brewer said. “With a real-life view into academics, spiritual life, and student activities, you are able to see what the life of a Pioneer is like.”

Dr. Bobby Hall, President of 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Baptist University, had a short message for the students and families about our home, 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ.

“My hope for you is that just like that fog outside is going to dissipate today and we are going to see a bright sun-shiny day, that maybe your thoughts about college, about 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ, will become equally clear,” Hall said.

Dr. Daniel Brown, Vice President of Enrollment Management, invited them to find their places within the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ family and its community.

“Come in, make yourselves at home. That’s what I want you to do today,” Brown said. “I want you to know that this day is about you and what you can get from us. As you go through the day, I want you all to remember that.”

Students and their families were also encouraged to visit the Pioneer Showcase held at the Laney. All the different schools of 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ presented their programs and majors in separate booths. Several of the schools had games like cornhole, making your own donut, and an interesting dance competition for everyone to enjoy.
