Flunk Day is not Tomorrow!

Dear Readers, Flunk Day was yesterday! It was a great time and I had fun with chatting with current students, faculty, staff and Alumni... oh and did I forget to mention I didn't have any class? I love waking up the the sound of Flunk Day Committee members banging on doors and screaming down halls "it's flunk day". I love smelling the grilled burgers and chicken sandwiches on the quad. What I love most however is how excited everyone is to enjoy some good weather and be with one another. Long Live Flunk Day! Thank you for your time, Charles E. Cotton III

Talking about Coe when not at Coe

Dear Readers, I hope all is well. This past week was a very exciting one. I spent a lot of time catching up with friends as well as finishing up a few fun class projects. Along with that I was able to go to Chicago for a college fair with an admission counselor. I had a great time talking with all the prospective students from the Noble schools about the great things Coe has to offer. After the fair was over I got back in the car and headed to Cedar Rapids. On the ride back I got to thinking about how much I really enjoyed talking about Coe. I began to think back to all the experiences I had and the one's that made my time here special. I remember when I was a prospective student and my admission counselor was trying to convince me that I should make the trip out to Iowa from Detroit Michigan and here I am now trying to convince students from Chicago to do the same thing. Coe is a place that I am proud to have attended and I feel it is safe to say many of my classmates feel the same way. Thank you for your time, Charles E. Cotton III

Admitted Student Weekend

Dear Readers, The time for big bands, lots of new faces, and tons of kohawk pride is here! I am talking about admitted student weekend or ASW. I think it is safe to say this is a great time to be on campus, especially since the weather is starting to get nice and everyone will be finished with a lot of their big test. I personally have a soft spot for ASW, when I was a prospective student I came to ASW and I really appreciated what I gained from that experience. During ASW I was able to meet even more faculty and staff, talk to current students, stay over-night, sit in on classes, and even meet my future roommate. Before ASW I still had little to no clue what Iowa and the Cedar Rapids area was like, but after making the trip down I was able to find out more about the city and it's culture. Well Friday is almost here and campus will be welcoming 200+ students to campus and showing them some kohawk pride. An added bonus is the big band we have coming this year We the Kings will be performing in Eby Fieldhouse and is open for all ASW students to attend. I must say they have some pretty catchy tunes.
