The first day back to school is always filled with new experiences, new notebooks, pens and new faces. Students at Shelton State experienced that early this morning.

When I arrived just a little before 8 am the atrium at Shelton State was quiet for the most part. The disruption was minimal until I got everything set up at my table, then the first wave of students came through the door. All eager, some tired but nonetheless ready for the first day of a new semester in their college career.

Our reason for being on campus today was to welcome them back and offer them a few cool things to make the school year better. Our friends at Buffalo Rock gave us Pepsi for an entire semester to register students for and we threw in a second registration box giving away tickets to see Alabama at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater on October 9th!

Here's a little of what we saw this morning while hanging out at Shelton State.
