On the heels of Tropical Storm Hilary, Â鶹´«Ã½ extended a sunny and dry welcome to members of the Class of 2027 and their families as they arrived on campus.

Led by the ever-energetic O-Team, student and staff volunteers were on hand on August 21 to help the newest cohort of first-years and transfer students settle in on campus. Families and Â鶹´«Ã½ staff members helped students move into their rooms and roommates met each other in person for the first time. Students also met with their Resident Advisers at the residence halls. A full schedule of events took place, including the "Welcome to Â鶹´«Ã½! A Community Celebration" event at Rush Gymnasium.
