DE PERE — Members of the Class of 2027 weren’t the only newcomers to participate in this year’s “Welcome Week” at St. Norbert College. Laurie Joyner, Ph.D., who officially started as the college’s ninth president on July 12, described the week as an “amazing surprise.” The week, which included convocation, Mass, a community picnic, concert and fireworks display, served as a good introduction for Joyner to the Norbertine ideal of communio, living together in communion.
