First Year Student Move-In
|
Move-In Day Family Lounge - August 23 and 24
Please join us on your student's move-in day in the Family Hospitality Room, located in rooms 105-107 of the Bernhard Center. Family Engagement staff will be on hand
from 10:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. both days to answer your last-minute questions, and provide you with three easy (and free!) ways to support your student:
- Write a note of encouragement to your student that will be delivered a few weeks into the semester. Note cards will be provided.
- Bring a photo of your family pet (with your student's name and residence hall noted on the back). Each hall will be creating a pet wall to make the halls feel more like home and to encourage social connections.
- Pick up a special gift from us!
We hope you will take this moment to catch your breath, enjoy some refreshments, and possibly connect with other First Year Families!
