Loads of fun and games were had during Welcome Back Days at HFC. January 27th and 28th were two days dedicated to introducing Henry Ford College student’s to the various clubs and volunteer opportunities available.

First year student Dionne Edwards said, “I enjoyed finding out about volunteer activities and university requirements. I was encouraged to continue my education after I graduate from Henry Ford and the university representatives and Student Activities staff made me feel welcome.”

Many of the clubs and college sponsors got very creative in their endeavors to bring draw in new students. Enticements ranging from cakes and cookies, to yellow ducks and silver streamers were used to attract attention from students. Colleges and universities also donated prizes won by select students in order to spread the word about their admission requirements to the student population.
