A New Move...

Happy August Everyone!

It is an exciting time around campus as we are anticipating the arrival of the class of 2013! Move in day begins on August 20 at 9 am for our first year students, upperclassmen will move in on the 21 and classes will begin on Monday, August 24.

Move in day for the first year students is one of my favorite times to walk around campus and enjoy the scene of parents helping their student move luggage, containers and snacks into their rooms. Some students are fully prepared with everything they need with them, while others will go around to our Wal-Mart here in town to purchase additional materials that may have been forgotten. Below are some FAQ’s that students usually ask before move-in.
