Move-In Day

Move-in day can be a very stressful time in everyone's life.  It is stressful for you, your student, and the campus staff.  It is important that everyone come during their assigned move-in time and follow the instructions of the officers that are trying to keep the flow of traffic moving. 

Remember that the space your student is moving into is shared space and not very large.  They should not try and bring everything from their current room and re-create it in their residence hall.  There is simply not enough room.  I am sure at some point before winter they will be home to get their boots, winter coats, etc.  There is no need to bring them on Saturday.  Anyone that arrives with two car loads will probably be taking one car load back with them to unload alone. 

Also, if you ordered a microfridge, it may not be in the room upon arrival.  I believe they have a week to deliver the microfridge to the room.  So please be patient, and don't bring perishables with you if you are not bringing your own fridge with you. 

One person must stay with the car and the movin' crew will descend and unload your car and get your belongings to your student's room.  Once unloaded you will be directed to a parking area so you can make your way back to the room.

The President, Dr. F. Javier Cevallos, is holding a reception from 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. in the Faculty/Staff Dining Room of the McCarthy Center on Saturday.  If you have time please stop by and introduce yourself. I'm sure he'd love to meet you.

At this point it looks to be a nice day!  Good luck and I'll see you soon.
