Gallery: New students begin Wildcat Week with move-in

August 17, 2020 by Riley Fisher, David Mitchell, Dillon Daniel and Sydney Varner

Incoming freshman started Wildcat Week by moving into their residence halls on Sunday with the assistance of parents, friends and Wildcat Week volunteers. Students were limited to two guests in their rooms during the move-in process, and all volunteers wore masks throughout the day.
