Move-in Day always goes faster on a golf cart!
Campus was buzzing with new students, parents and volunteers on August 23 for Wright State’s annual Move-In Day.
All day, about 1,300 incoming freshmen moved their furniture and other college essentials into their dorm with the help of hundreds of upperclassmen, staff and faculty. An arsenal of golf carts further expedited the moving process.
Though the summer sun was beating down, students’ enthusiasm to get settled in their new dorms and to start Fall Semester was evident.
Amid the the hustle and bustle, Reilly Dixon, Student on the Scene, talked to freshmen, Resident Assistants, volunteers and parents about Move-In Day.
