“Snow Boots to Spring Boots – A New Semester Adventure!”

Hey there, Students!

BESTFOOT here… your favorite campus Sasquatch, professional footprint-maker, snow-stomper, and unofficial hallway greeter.

Whew — it has been COLD.

Now, I don’t mind winter (I do have built-in fur, after all), but even I’ve had enough of slipping across icy sidewalks and digging my big toes out of snowdrifts.

But guess what?

I can feel it…

The days are getting longer.
The sun’s sticking around.
And spring is stretching its sleepy arms.

A new semester is here, and campus is buzzing again — backpacks, coffee cups, laughter in the halls, and students chasing goals like I chase snacks at events.

And speaking of events… we’ve got some fun (and important!) things happening that you won’t want to miss.

🎓 Celebration Week is Coming!
The Commencement celebrations and Pinning Ceremonies will take place the week of May 4–9.

This is hands-down my favorite time of the year. Pinning ceremonies, caps and gowns, proud families, happy tears — it’s a whole week of celebrating YOU and everything you’ve accomplished.

Graduation applications will be sent out soon, so be watching your email for details and deadlines.

Fair warning: I get a little misty during graduation week… but don’t tell anyone. It fogs up my fur.

🐾 From My Footprints to Yours

Every semester feels like a fresh trail.

Some days are icy.
Some are muddy.
Some are sunny and perfect.

But every single step counts.

So, whether you’re:

I’ll be around campus cheering you on, high-fiving, and maybe sneaking snacks from events.

If you see some oversized footprints in the hallway, that’s just me making sure you’re headed the right way.

Stay warm, stay motivated, and get ready — spring (and success) is just around the bend.

Big steps,
