Your Fellow Students Love the Outdoors

Last weekend, appromixately thirty-five freshman left Wesleyan and ventured into the woods with a Wesleyan Outdoor Orientation Trip.   Trips ranged across Connecticut, Mass., Vermont and New Hampshire and included canoeing, hiking and backpacking.

Unlike many of our – oh, how I love this phrase – “peer” institutions, Wesleyan does not have a long-established outdoor orientation program.  Yet WOOT, now in its second year, proved once again to be a smashing success, introducing freshman to the outdoors around Wesleyan and, of course, to each other.

Congratulations to Jared Schroder ’11 and Rosemary Pierson ’11 for organizing such a successful program.  Also to the leaders and participants on this year’s WOOTs.
