EDGE Gets Under Way June 5-6

COLUMBIA, Ky. - Lindsey Wilson College will host its first EDGE days of the summer on June 5-6.

EDGE -- an acronym for education, development, growth and experience -- gives incoming Lindsey Wilson freshmen and their guardians information about academic, social and residential life at the college.

Dean of Admissions Traci Pooler encourages incoming students to take full advantage of the opportunity that EDGE provides.

"It's so much more enjoyable and stress-free on the first day of classes in the fall for the students who attend EDGE day versus the ones who don't," said Pooler. "We strongly encourage all incoming freshman to reap the benefits of EDGE for social, academic and residential reasons."

There are many opportunities at EDGE beyond the serious nature of financial questions and scheduling of classes. Incoming freshmen also get a chance to participate in games and activities, such as "Turtle Crossing" and "Critical Transfer." The games are entertaining and also build community by introducing students to their future classmates.

Pooler mentioned that because of this, the social ramifications of EDGE are evident.

"It's not uncommon for students to meet some of their close friends for the next four years while attending EDGE," said Pooler. "In fact, I've seen many cases in which a student also meets their roommate on that day. So, to say that EDGE gives you an advantage would be an understatement."

Interested students may register online. For more information regarding EDGE contact the admissions office at Lindsey Wilson College at 270-384-8100, or (800) 264-0138 or e-mail them at admissions@lindsey.edu.
