April 10, 2008 EXTRA! Special Lyon 101
Edition The first "Lyon 101" registration day was held Saturday for students who will be attending Lyon next fall and was hailed as a success by College officials. This early registration program for deposited incoming freshmen drew about 40 students along with their families to the campus. They left with IDs, network account numbers, and their course registration for the coming fall semester. They also worked with their mentor groups to create Facebook pages that will enable them to stay in touch over the summer. Another Lyon 101 registration day will be held Friday, June 13.
