The semester at PIU has begun. Registration begins today (Wednesday)! Classes start next Monday. Teacher and staff orientation and in-service has been going on already this week. Lots and lots of meetings to get ready for the students to arrive! Some of the students are already here. 5 new students arrived from Chuuk last night and 3 of our American students have already arrived. We expect the other 60+ students to arrive Thursday and Friday night to get ready for student orientation which begins this weekend. However, the first group to arrive came in last week - the student leaders. Rob Watt, our VP of Student Life, has had the 2010-11 student council members and the resident assistants and other student leaders in all this past week for leadership training and prep for the school year. I had a chance to share a devotional with the group on Monday morning about "being the image of Jesus 24-7" and enjoyed the brief discussion that followed. We also got to interact with them when they came over to our house for dinner last Friday night (pictures are from that event). Each evening last week the student leadership team brought dinner over to one of the faculty members' house and enjoyed an evening of fellowship. I thought this was a great way to connect students and staff.
