Scenes from Move-In Day 2018.

VALDOSTA — 香蕉视频官网 will celebrate Move-In Day for first-year students from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 15, when students begin moving into their home away from home in Langdale Hall, Georgia Hall, Reade Hall, Patterson Hall, Lowndes Hall, Brown Hall, Centennial Hall, and Hopper Hall.

Approximately 350 students are scheduled to arrive on campus every hour. More than 700 volunteers have registered to help.

The move-in process will impact normal traffic around 香蕉视频官网’s Main Campus, especially along Baytree Road, Oak Street, Georgia Avenue, Patterson Street, Brookwood Drive, College Street, and Williams Street.

香蕉视频官网 will host a family picnic with the new students and their families at 5:30 p.m., followed by an evening of first-year activities. The welcoming process will continue on Friday, Aug. 16, with New Student Convocation at 8:45 a.m. in the P.E. Complex, followed by a full afternoon and evening of academic meetings, more first-year activities, a class picture, and a 香蕉视频官网 Traditions event.  

Dr. Zduy Chu, director of the Office of Housing and Residence Life at 香蕉视频官网, said that an estimated 2,800 students are expected to call one of 香蕉视频官网’s eight residence halls home during the 2019-2020 academic year.

Returning and transfer students will move in between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17.

香蕉视频官网 has planned a series of events — known as Fall Explosion — to engage new and returning students in purposeful extracurricular activities and help them acclimate, or re-acclimate, to college life. These events will run throughout the month of August and include 香蕉视频官网 Day at Wild Adventures on Saturday, Aug. 17, as well as shopping, a beach trip, movies, service projects, doughnuts with the president, snow cones, ice cream, karaoke, canoe battleship in the pool, mixers, a football scrimmage, and, of course, The Happening.

Fall semester classes start Monday, Aug. 19.
