Cal U will welcome first-year students as they move into University Housing during the week of Aug. 17-22.
New and returning students are expected to arrive at Vulcan Village, on the upper campus, throughout the week.
On the main campus, Move-In Day has been scheduled for Aug. 22. New students whose names begin with letters A through M are scheduled to arrive between 9 a.m. and noon. Students whose last names begin with N through Z will move in between noon and 3 p.m.
Volunteers will be on hand at the main campus residence halls to greet incoming students and their families, and to offer assistance as they carry their belongings inside. Student athletes, members of Greeke organizations and even University administrators are typically on hand to assist incoming students.
A picnic-style lunch for all new students and their families will be offered from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Convocation Center. Interim University President Geraldine M. Jones plans to drop by and chat informally with the Cal U community’s newest members.
