Housing & Residence Life Fall Check-In Recap & Changing Students Lives This year’s Fall Check-In event was a huge success. We loved seeing so many students and families on campus, moving into the residences halls. Over 100 campus partners volunteered to help students move into their new homes. It’s incredible to see the Vandal Family come together for such a special day. Big thanks to the entire Housing & Residence Life Staff for all the hard work put in. We were able to welcome students and families with a fun filled day and a lasting first impression. Fall Check-In is a great showing of how our department works to change students’ lives.

David Moore, Housing’s Carpenter & Maintenance Craft Person, is a perfect example of this. David helps with this event every year. He brings a handcart from home and spends his entire work day helping students get settled. When asked about his experience David commented, “Not only the students but their parents are really grateful that people are helping.” David shared that, “Families were really impressed with how well (Fall Check-In) was organized.” He explained that it is nice meeting so many different people who are all excited, some nervous, and it’s nice to see how much they appreciate his help. “Almost every year one of the parents tries to tip me, but I assure them that I’m just doing my job.” Thanks David and the whole department for a successful Fall Check-In.
