Returning students, faculty and staff at Vanderbilt University greeted the Class of 2026 and their families with smiles, cheers and high-fives as they arrived on The Martha Rivers Ingram Commons for Move-In Day on Aug. 20. The annual tradition, in which upper-division students help carry the first-year students’ belongings to their rooms, aims to make the newest members of the Vanderbilt community feel at home from day one.
Among the other highlights of Move-In Weekend was the opening of Rothschild College in the West End Neighborhood. In addition to housing upper-division students, Vanderbilt’s newest residential college features a dining hall, great room, study lounges and a reservable black box theater for performances.
Check out highlights of Move-In Weekend in the gallery below and on Vanderbilt’s Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn pages.
