Copiah-Lincoln Community College (Co-Lin) has officially started its fall 2025 semester. To kick off the new school year, the campus traditionally holds “Welcome Week” where students can enjoy games, activities, giveaways and more.

Welcome Week is currently underway this week and consists of all kinds of fun such as Picnic With the Pack with DJ Aaron, club interest fair, movie night with popcorn and cotton candy, cornhole, foam party, luau at the Baptist Student Union (BSU, and free Italian ice from the Frosty Flamingo cart sponsored by the band and Colette alumni association, and much more.

“I attended the campus club fair because I want to get involved with awesome organizations on campus,” said Abbey Berch of Wesson.

Berch is a recent graduate of Wesson Attendance Center and is currently a radiologic technologies major taking prerequisites. She is also a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society, Sigma Kappa Delta English honor society, and the Colettes dance team.

Her future plans are to further her radiology education after Co-Lin by attending the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC).
