Move in and orientation began for first-year students on Thursday, August 25. Student teams helped carry boxes and bins to residence hall rooms, the College’s Green Team oversaw recycling efforts and President Harring welcomed new arrivals and their families.
Events throughout the weekend included information sessions with Orientation Leaders; social gatherings for new students; a celebration of Muhlenberg’s traditions, including the signing of the matriculation ledger at the President's House, a candle-lighting ceremony and learning the College's Alma Mater; and a faculty welcome and first lecture.
The start of the academic year officially kicked off with opening convocation on Sunday afternoon, August 28, followed by a campus-wide BBQ.
