Move-in Fall 2015, underway at Lindsey Wilson College Columbia's Population is increasing dramatically today and this coming week. More than 1,025 students will live in LWC residence halls this school year, and total enrollment should top 2,600 for the fifth consecutive year. Click on headline for full story with photo(s) as added in the coming day(s) By Duane Bonifer, Public Relations Director Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, KY Columbia, KY - Lindsey Wilson College freshman Haley Vittitow of Shepherdsville, KY, started packing for her move to the college three weeks ago. She wanted to make sure she didn't forget anything for her third-floor Phillips Hall room, and she also had to allow for the removal of her wisdom teeth. By mid-Saturday morning, Vittitow and her parents, Keith and Sandy, and mostly decorated her room. Although Vittitow said there was a chance she had forgotten an item or two. "I feel like I remembered everything, but I'm sure within a week I'll realize I forgot something," she said. Vittitow - who was among the first LWC residential students to arrive on the college's A.P. White Campus on Saturday morning - said the biggest challenge of packing was deciding which clothes to bring with her. "It was trying to figure out what I need to take, and what I don't need to take," she said. It was not a challenge for Vittitow to become acclimated to LWC's campus life over the weekend. Along with more than 400 other new residential students, Vittitow was introduced the liberal arts college's culture over a whirlwind four-day period that included orientation sessions, lock-ins, speakers and movies. The 2015-16 school year gets officially gets underway Wednesday, Aug. 19, although several programs begin on other days. More than 1,025 students will live in LWC residence halls this school year, and total enrollment should top 2,600 for the fifth consecutive year. LWC Director of Student Activities Lafawn Nettles, who coordinated most of the weekend's orientation events, said the purpose of the events is "meeting, greeting, making new friends, building relationships" "It's just about getting people out of their rooms, meeting people and making new friends so they don't feel homesick," Nettles said. Down the hall from Vittitow, Phillips Hall resident Emily Garrison was getting ready for her second year as an LWC resident adviser. Garrison, a junior from Willamsontown, KY, said she has been preparing for move-in day for several weeks. "I love the freshmen, I love move-in day," Garrison said. "I love to meet the parents and let them know, 'Hey, I'm here for your daughter, and I'm going to help them out.' I also want to make the girls feel at home and make some kind of impact on them." LWC officials likewise expect this year's freshmen to have an impact on the college. At the Class of 2019 Kick-Off Ceremony, held in Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center, LWC Vice President for Student Services and Enrollment Management Dean Adams told the freshmen that they are members of one of the brightest and most academically decorated classes in the college's 112-year history. "You need to know we are expecting big things from you guys in the classroom," Adams said. "You guys are getting ready for a life-changing experience. You're going to be taught by incredibly caring and knowledgeable faculty. ... We're all entering into a partnership. A partnership of teaching and learning. And I promise you, we're going to do our part; we just need you guys to do your partnership. ... In a few years, we'll all celebrate this partnership when you walk across the stage and earn your college degree." Nettles, who is a 2002 LWC alumna, could barely recall her first weekend at LWC. Not because it wasn't a big deal, but rather because its significance was supplanted by other college events over the next four years of her life. "There's so much that happens to you when you are a college student that by the time you graduate, you won't even remember a lot of the anxieties or worries you had when your started your college journey," she said.
