Use Move In Crew

Our Move-In Crew are certified rockstars! If there was a certification for being awesome, they’d have it.

They are a group of hundreds of student, faculty and staff volunteers that work from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Tuesday and Wednesday of new student move in (Aug. 15 and 16 for Fall 2023). You don’t have to sign up to use their services – just show up, and they’ll help you out!

They’re here to:

  • Welcome you
  • Help carry belongings
  • Answer questions
  • Open doors
  • Provide directions
