Move-In Mondays: Fall Events

This “Move-In Monday” is about the importance of the non-academic aspects of your college experience, including activities, events, and general campus life. These can be just as important as your courses. Studies show that participating in campus events and activities leads to a greater sense of belonging, stronger friendships, consistent classroom attendance, and better academic performance.

So mark the below in your calendars and remember to bring your purple-and-gold spirit to the events.
