Class of 2028 Kicks Off Semester With Lux et Lex Walk

Students in Franklin & Marshall’s newly arrived Class of 2028 marked the beginning of their time on campus with the Lux et Lex walk Tuesday, Aug. 27. 

Cheered on by F&M faculty and staff, the 486 first-year and transfer students circled campus and passed under the Lux et Lex arch over Klauder-Apple Walkway. They will complete the walk again, passing under the arch in the opposite direction, as seniors the day before their Commencement.
