Welcome to Olin, Class of 2026!

August 25, 2022 - 1:29PM EDT | Emily Roper-Doten

Yesterday was move-in day for the Class of 2026! The rain held off through the unloading of cars and nearly all the outside activities; it was a fabulous day! The Student Affairs and Resources team, including so many amazing student leaders and led by PATRICK, planned a fantastic introduction to Olin, including the Class Handoff. I have the great pleasure of welcoming the new class and introducing them to each other and the greater Olin community, “handing off” the new class to the people who will teach, support, and mentor them over the next four years. An excerpt of my welcome speech is below. I hope you enjoy getting to know the Olin College Class of 2026!
