Summer’s slower pace on campus came to an end this week with the start of fall classes. Students, many with maps in hand, took to the sidewalks, waited in line for coffee at the Freudian Sips, or took a break under the yellow umbrellas at the Arbor Grill.  Here’s to a great year, ahead, Matadors! Check out the first weekday of the 2022-2023 academic year, in photos.
