How to move in freshmen and leave your car running

August 16, 2016 by Emily Guajardo and Maggie Farias

Wildcat Week leaders, Steering Committee members and ResLife staff have been hard at work since 7 a.m. moving incoming freshmen into their new dorm homes.

ResLife changed the move-in system this year. Students were assigned a move-in time based on their room number and proceeded to move through ResLife’s drive-thru before unloading their cars with help from the move-in crew.
