Welcome Home

Red Hawks settle in, ready their nests for a new year

Masks can’t hide the excitement to be on campus for a new year.

The excitement of a new year can be felt in the residence halls this week as students move into what will be their home away from home for the next nine months. Armed with bins filled with clothes, comforters, pillows, lamps, room decorations and school supplies, families helped their students find their rooms and unpack — and get them Instagram ready.

It takes all hands on deck to unload cars.

Thank goodness for rolling bins and luggage.
