So let's simply settle on a fast and loose translation: "Seize the college experience (in its entirety)."Carpe College! is an idea. An approach. An M.O. A habit. A way of embracing everything college life throws your way - academics and the rest - and doing so with vigor. Or, as President Kennedy would have said, "with VIGAH!" It's also an exploration, a continual experiment, a series of tests and trials and the dipping of many toes into many different waters in an attempt to uncover who you are and how you fit... with others... with the world at large... with your own notion of who you'd like to become. This is Carpe College! Let us begin.
