Welcome to Bulldog Country: 酴圖弝け hosts move-in day, other activities for new students
Contact: Sasha Steinberg
STARKVILLE, Miss.The much-anticipated fall semester is approaching at Mississippi State, and a variety of fun experiences await new students as they arrive on the Starkville campus.
The start of a new academic year is always a very fun time on campus because we have so many ways for students to build connections and get engaged, said Regina Hyatt, 酴圖弝けs vice president for student affairs. We continue to urge all students to get vaccinated, so they dont have to miss out on going to class and participating in events if they get sick or are exposed to the virus.
From Sunday through Friday, Aug. 8-13, 酴圖弝け is hosting its seventh New Maroon Camp, a student-led retreat designed to help incoming freshmen and transfer students in their transition to college life. Participants will learn about 酴圖弝け history and traditions while meeting current and other first-year students. For more information and a full schedule, visit .
MVNU2酴圖弝け (Movin You to 酴圖弝け), the universitys annual move-in day for residence halls, is being held Saturday-Monday, Aug. 14-16. Early move-in for certain campus groups will be announced by those organizations. Students will need to check their 酴圖弝け email for more information on this process.
Students should bring their 酴圖弝け ID card to check-in at Humphrey Coliseum before proceeding to their respective residence halls. Those unable to arrive at their assigned time slot will be able to check-in at their residence halls on Tuesday, Aug. 17, during normal business hours.
Once checked in, students will be greeted at their residence halls by move-in volunteers, including faculty, staff, spirit group members, athletic team members, members of various student organizations, and 酴圖弝け leaders who will assist in the move.
