Move-In Day
The Parent Programs office is taking a couple days off before Move-In. Here’s a look back at some of the things that took place during Move-In 2011.
Move-In Day Strategies
Everyone is brimming with excitement about our new students moving in, and the Parent Programs office has been receiving a good number of questions about move-in strategy. There is good information on the New Students web site and we want to augment that […]
New Bank Location
For our returning students, one of the campus changes they’ll see this fall is the location of our local branch of Wells Fargo Bank. Formerly located on the Quad in Davis Residence Hall, the bank branch has now moved to the second floor of Benson […]

New Beginnings and Advice
Our new students and upperclassmen are just a few weeks away from starting school. It’s an exciting time, a time of new beginnings. There are countless opportunities to be involved in and out of the classroom – sometimes so many options that students have trouble […]
Big Fish
This story is so much fun, I can barely stand it. Last Friday, the pool in Reynolds Gym was turned into a trout pond. Yes, you read that right. A. Trout. Pond. This was the brainchild of Jessica Finnerty, a member of the Campus Recreation […]
