Welcoming Winter Term Big Dogs to Campus
Winter Term is officially underway at CVA, and we’ve welcomed 35 additional student-athletes to campus for the season! On November 1, families gathered for Registration Day to reconnect with familiar faces and welcome new members of the CVA community. It's a great time of year as we gear up for another winter of training, competition, and time on the mountain.
Student-athletes moved into their dorm rooms, filled their lockers with winter gear, and reunited with friends after time away. Registration Day is also one of those special occasions when families, teachers, coaches, and staff can both reconnect and get acquainted.
As is tradition on Registration Day, everyone gathered outside the Webber Academic Center for the gratitude ceremony. Students took time to reflect on what they are thankful for, putting their thoughts into notes of gratitude for their parents. It's always a special moment when these notes are read aloud, offering a glimpse into the appreciation students have for the people who support them along the way.
Following the ceremony, the CVA community enjoyed a special luncheon in the Capricorn, featuring a meal prepared by our food services team. After lunch, Winter Term students shifted their focus to getting settled for the school year with an afternoon of orientation activities. They checked in with our wellness team, set up their computers, and participated in activities designed to help them get to know their classmates.
The warm welcome extended beyond Registration Day itself. During advisory, Fall Term student-athletes put together a welcome sign filled with advice and words of encouragement for their Winter Term peers. Their messages ranged from reminders to prioritize sleep, stay hydrated, and use their time wisely to encouragement to try new things, support one another, and remember to call home. It was a thoughtful way to welcome their peers and share a few words of wisdom for the season ahead.
It's great to have our Winter Term Big Dogs back on campus and to welcome new faces for the season. With everyone settling into the rhythm of campus life, the countdown is on to our first days on snow at Sugarloaf. We'll be skiing before the end of the month!
