Shenandoah Celebrates Largest Freshman Class
Volunteers help new students into their dorms during annual Move-In Day
Approximately 300 Shenandoah University faculty, staff and students joined forces on Tuesday, August 20, to help first-year students move into their dorms as part of the school’s annual Move-In Day.
Volunteers carried boxes, refrigerators and TVs into dorms to assist new students and their families during their first day on campus.
The Largest Incoming Class Ever!
While it is too early to confirm the number of new students Shenandoah University will enroll this year, it is expected that this will be Shenandoah’s largest incoming freshman class ever with more than 480 students. In 2018, there were 443 first-time, degree-seeking freshmen students.
In total, Shenandoah will have more than 685 new undergraduates this year, which includes both freshmen and transfer students.
This year, Shenandoah University is housing approximately 1,100 students.
