As move-in commences this week, a mix of in-person and virtual activities will be available to students. This includes nightly welcome and orientation activities with residential faculty, orientation leaders and residential colleges staff, as well as the separate CommonVU orientation modules that became available on Aug. 15. Students should look for additional communications about small-group campus tours, scavenger hunts, floor meetings, virtual roommate activities and much more.
