What's Assembly?
Assembly is the time when the entire campus community meets to share a cultural experience—often an outside speaker or performer, sometimes an Exeter performance, sometimes an Exeter tradition, like the Fall Pep Rally.
It's fun, relaxing, stimulating and mind-changing all at the same time, and you'll find, when you get to college, you'll have a hard time matching this experience or the roster of visitors you'll encounter.
Here's a sampling of recent presenters:
