Over the summer Cabrini College became Cabrini University!
The school has made some new additions to accommodate the title: the new and improved Dixon Center, new flag, signs and shuttles. The school’s new appearance is up to par.
Overall, many of the upperclassman were in agreement that the school has not changed much and still feels like “Cabrini College,” and even some who are not used to the switch still call it a college. However, the school definitely did a great job at giving Cabrini a new look.
Junior and commuter Allie Dilks said, “The commuters lounge in the RAC is very suitable, and gives us another spot to hang out instead of Jazzman’s.”
Freshman Lattana Sithara said, “Woodcrest looks great!” Sithara witnessed overcoming last year’s unfortunate flood and renovation of new wooden floors and a new lobby set up.
So Cabrini is the same school, just a new look, now how is everyone settling in their first week? For most people it was a smooth syllabus week, and almost everyone is getting along with their roommate.
When discussing upcoming events, the freshmen seem pretty excited for the annual Phillies game and the involvement fair.
“I can’t wait to see what kinds of events the CAP Board hosts this year,” freshman Maddie Logue said.
CAP Board did a great job putting together some awesome events last year. Everyone else is ready for homecoming weekend.
Another new addition most of the Cabrini crowd is looking forward to is the first ever men’s baseball team. Jake Dohar, freshman and pitcher for Cabrini baseball seemed really psyched for the season to start.
“Just going out onto the field and being apart of history,” Dohar said. “I feel some pressure to do good because all of the sports clubs here are so successful; they expect nothing less than greatness from us.”
Sophomore Yasmine Louis said she is excited that there is a food truck coming to campus.
As far as it looks, it is pretty apparent how much Cabrini has changed, taking down all “college” signs and old logos and replacing them with the new university look, and the gym remodel is just the icing on the cake. The new equipment in the Dixon center makes it less aggravating to exercise.
All of these wonderful resources to accommodate the university should keep up positive energy around campus and lead students to a successful semester.
