During the weekend of April 23rd, 2022, Wyoming Seminary came together as a community to welcome newly accepted students. The Upper and Lower School campuses hosted events throughout the day by giving tours, answering questions, and showing the clubs we have to offer. A total of 72 families attended the event to see what it would be like as a student at Sem.
The families included 8thgrade families, admitted families for next year, accepted families, and prospective families looking to attend the Open House in the fall. A total of 30 clubs represented the school by showing off the sports, extra-curriculars, and academic offerings at Sem.
Sarah Stewart, the Interim Director of Domestic Admission at the Upper School, organized the day. She said, “After seeing our current students and faculty interacting with our new and prospective families, you realize all of the difficult decisions and long hours of planning are all worth it. We cannot wait to have everyone back together in the Fall for the 2022-2023 school year.”
At the Upper School, the street of North Sprague was filled with tables for clubs and student organizations. Another benefit of having students participate in the event is that it provides a sincere welcome into the Sem community.
Lauren Finlay ‘23 shared, ” Accepted Students Day was a great experience for everyone involved. [It] went amazing this year, and the Sem community got to see so many new faces! It was really nice to meet potential incoming students, and I think all the students really felt like it brought our community together!”
