Wyatt Masters of Queen Creek joins BVU class at convocation tradition
Posted
Independent Newsmedia
On Aug. 21, Wyatt Masters of Queen Creek joined Buena Vista University’s freshmen class in the convocation celebration in Storm Lake, Iowa.
More than 250 freshmen and transfer students were welcomed by returning BVU students, staff members and coaches who donned masks and handed out water in a streamlined move-in process on the first day of Welcome Week on campus, according to a release.
Each member of the incoming class visited with BVU Interim President Dr. Brian Lenzmeier and his wife, Betsy, before proceeding through the university’s Victory Arch, a Beavers tradition for decades. The next time each student will pass through the Victory Arch is on their graduation day as the class proceeds toward its commencement ceremony.
“We cannot wait to see how these students grow and affect the world,” Dr. Lenzmeier said in the release. “We know they’ll also change us for the better.”
