Hundreds of incoming freshmen and other University students gathered in the EMU amphitheater for the 2012 InterMingle, a student welcome event and the largest campus-wide event of the year. Activities involved free henna, a massive student-led Zumba dance demonstration, and a screening of “Jurassic Park” in the EMU’s 3rd-floor ballroom.
