About 900 first-year students were moving into Wright State University dorms Wednesday and today, with the remaining students who will live on campus this year moving in on Saturday.
The first-year students are attending orientation on Friday, and the university wanted the students to get used to the campus before upperclassmen moved in, said Jennifer Attenweiler, associate director of residence life at Wright State.
That means things like getting students signed up for clubs on campus, finding classes and having residence advisors, or RAs, lead first-years to meals.
About 60 student volunteers, plus another 60 residence life staff, including RAs, and 30 faculty volunteers were needed to make Wednesday a success, Attenweiler said.
“We started this morning at 9 a.m., and people were ready to go at 8 a.m., so it’s been great,” Attenweiler said.
