UGA welcomes deferred freshmen

Attention all upperclassmen: there has been an invasion.

On Jan. 8, an unusually large group of 202 new first-year students enrolled at the University to no protest to begin classes this spring.

The University accepted the students and deferred their enrollment to the spring semester as part of an initiative to spread out first-year enrollment over a 12-month period.

Summer brings new look to paper
