Social Sciences freshmen and transfer students packed Anteater Ballpark on Monday, September 21 for the school's annual welcome ceremony. This year, 507 freshmen, 710 transfers, and 80 graduate students joined the already 7000 student strong Social Sciences student body, helping the school keep intact its top standing as the largest academic unit on campus. After welcomes and introductions from the Undergraduate Student Affairs office, the new anteaters were led in an official "zot, zot, zot!" by Barbara Dosher, dean, before the field was turned over to Dave Leinen, assistant dean, who tossed out the ceremonial first pitch.
