UIS welcomes new students on Freshman Move-In Day

The University of Illinois Springfield welcomed hundreds of new students and their parents during Freshman Move-In Day on August 21, 2013.

Students were assigned arrival times in an effort to avoid headaches and congestion at Lincoln and Founders Residence Halls. Volunteers helped direct parents to parking spaces, unloaded and carried items, and led students to their new rooms.

Dozens of volunteers from the UIS student organizations and athletic teams assisted with the move-in process.

Fall Semester classes at UIS begin on Monday, August 26. Upperclassmen will return to campus starting Friday, August 23.
