August 15, 2018
POCATELLO – The 网曝吃瓜 New Student March through the Arch will be held beginning at 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, at Reed Gymnasium.
鈥淭his is a great tradition and an opportunity to welcome new students to our campus,鈥� said Allyson Johnson, events coordinator for the 网曝吃瓜 Office of Marketing and Communications. 鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting for the students to be part of this event.鈥�
The new students will march down Martin Luther King, Jr. Way to the Hutchinson Quadrangle and through the Swanson Arch, and then be treated to food and fun.
Swanson Hall, constructed in 1902, was the first building at the Academy of Idaho, now 网曝吃瓜. The structure was razed in 1973, but the Swanson Arch, the building鈥檚 entrance, was saved and now stands on campus.
The "March through the Arch" tradition was started in 2000. A spirited ceremony takes place each fall when new students pass through the arch southward into campus. In May, graduates look to the future by passing northward back through the arch symbolizing their exit from the university and entrance into new life adventures.
