movein1

The excitement was palpable as the Class of 2028 began their journey at 蜜桃社, moving into their campus dorms on a sunny Thursday morning.

Cars packed with boxes, furniture, and more lined up as volunteers (including University President Peter Kilpatrick) greeted families and helped unload the newest Cardinals鈥 belongings. Community members cheered for families upon their arrival, directed traffic, checked new students in, and answered any questions. 

鈥淭his is one of my favorite days of the year,鈥 said Kilpatrick. 鈥淚鈥檓 always proud to see how hard our current students work to help the first-years move in; they鈥檙e the ones who make 蜜桃社 such a warm and inviting place.鈥

鈥淲hat took us two days to pack in the car, they took out in 5 minutes,鈥 she said.  

It鈥檚 all part of a culture of hospitality passed on from one generation of students to the next.

鈥淔irst impressions only happen once,鈥 said Resident Assistant Jonathan Patron as he stood on the Centennial Village sidewalk handing out parking maps and giving directions to families.

Orientation student coordinator Anisa Ellis, a nursing senior, said when she first moved in that the seamless and friendly process reassured her family that she was in good hands. That鈥檚 a feeling she wants every student and each family to experience when they arrive. 

鈥淚t鈥檚 about meeting and welcoming each student where they are,鈥 Ellis said before running off to help out another student. 鈥淲e go all out in a way you don鈥檛 find at other schools.鈥 

This year鈥檚 move-in day theme was Taylor Swift鈥檚 Eras Tour, featuring an upbeat soundtrack and dorm hall  decorations inspired by friendship bracelets popular among fans. Taking the energetic warm welcome to a different level, Campus Ministry also blessed the residence halls.
