<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon Hardrockers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For our newcomers, welcome to South Dakota Mines, and for our returners, welcome back to campus!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As your coaches have mentioned to you, our Hardrocker Welcome Back Night will be
<b>this Sunday at 4:00pm in the Goodell Gymnasium</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve made some changes to our welcome back event this year as we’ll exclusively focus on presenting you with pertinent resources on campus for you to have a successful year on campus.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Snacks will be provided at the event, and Sport Medicine Staff will be providing Powerade and Water in the coolers. We encourage you to bring your own beverage as well. Shout out to SAAC again for sponsoring this year’s Hardrocker t-shirts!
They will be handed out prior to the event in the main lobby.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As for logistics, we’ll look to get going at 4:00pm, so please plan to arrive earlier as we want to be respectful for everyone’s time.<o:p></o:p></p>
