Posted on August 18, 2018
For the third time in seven years, a brand new residence hall is welcoming incoming freshman students to the 老司机福利网.
Today was Move-in Day at 老司机福利网, a day where USA faculty, staff and current students unloaded vehicles and did the heavy lifting to move 1,332 freshmen into their new campus homes.
The newest of the new homes is named Camellia Hall, with 363 brand new Jaguars checking in today. The volunteer movers showed up at 8 o鈥檆lock this morning and worked into the afternoon to relocate the Class of 2022 into the University鈥檚 32 residence halls.
鈥淒iverse and extensive participation in Move-In Day is a part of what makes USA so special. It demonstrates the passion and pride that faculty, staff, students and administrators have for 老司机福利网鈥檚 campus community,鈥 said Dr. Nicole Carr, co-chair of USA鈥檚 Week of Welcome festivities.
Move-in Day at 老司机福利网 kicks off the University鈥檚 鈥淲eek of Welcome鈥 and Beyond,鈥 two weeks of special events to show students where they belong at USA.

鈥淭hese two weeks of fun events offer all students the time and space to connect with academic interests, student organizations and all the wide ranging opportunities that come with being part of the Jag family,鈥 Carr said.
