During the weekend and new student orientation, first-year and transfer students will participate in several programs and be assisted by current students who are part of the Tiger Team. They will meet with their first-year seminar teams and resident advisers, building relationships with faculty and staff; engage in residence hall community building; learn the values and mission of the university; attend social events to connect with classmates, and complete final preparations.
New students arrived on campus to move in between 9 a.m. and noon on Thursday. After moving in, students attended various programs and activities, including a first-generation, transfer, commuter and new student and family welcome receptions, welcome remarks from several university officials, residence hall meetings, meet-your-community fair and a hypnotist presentation.
On Friday, there will be the annual opening convocation and invocation, first-year class photo, meetings, president’s reception and Witt Olympics.
