Move-In Day!
Welcome Week 2021 begins on Move-In Day, Aug. 25, when new residential students check in to their residence halls! You will be greeted by a team of Shenandoah staff. Be sure to place a sign on your car’s dashboard with the name of your residence hall. Before packing your car, you should label all belongings – boxes, suitcases, etc. – with your name, residence hall and room number. After you move your student in, you are invited to attend Navigator (Wednesday, Aug. 25 from 8 a.m. to noon) and Convocation (Wednesday, Aug. 25 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m). Families and friends are welcome to have dinner with their students on or off-campus before students are due back for their mandatory hall meeting at 7 pm. See “answers” to Navigator Checklist.
We will also have athletic special sessions of Navigator as follows:
- Football – Wednesday, August 11 from 11 am to 2 pm
- Soccer/Field Hockey – Tuesday, August 17 from 3 pm to 5 pm
- Volleyball – Friday, August 20 from 10 am – 11 am
Here are some videos of what you can look forward to.
