On August 27, the sophomores got the opportunity to explore Downtown Minneapolis on Blake’s annual retreat day. The day gives each advisory the chance to explore Minneapolis at their own pace without any parameters.
Advisories had the freedom to go anywhere in Minneapolis during the time allowed. The only rule was that all of the advisories had to be back at Loring Park by the afternoon.
Sophomore Grade Dean Shawn Reid thought that the Sophomore Walk was a success, specifically citing that, “We had a great buy in from both the students and the advisors.” He thought the sophomore walk facilitated, “Building good grade camaraderie. It helped start the school year off right.”
