Our first day of Preview Days 2009 was an informative and fun-filled event, including a welcome from Chancellor George R. Blumenthal, presentations on admissions, academics, and student life, a meet-and-greet event at the Jack Baskin School of Engineering, campus tours, and even a visit from our beloved mascot, Sammy the Slug!
