Virtual Summer Series for Incoming Residents
Living on campus for the first time in Fall 2024? Participate in virtual Q&A sessions over both Zoom and Instagram this summer!
From May 2024-July 2024, we offered five informational sessions (including live Q&A) on various topics to help answer your questions about room selection, residence hall policies, move-in day, and more! There were five Zoom-based “What’s Up Wednesday” presentations on select weeknights at 7pm, and some Instagram Live sessions on the same topic the next day (Thursdays) at 12 noon. Incoming students and their families were invited to attend both the Zoom presentations and the Instagram Live sessions, or whichever was more convenient for them.
SUMMER SERIES SCHEDULE:
Room Selection: Our Associate Director will answer your questions about housing options, Special Interest Housing Communities, the selection timeline and process, give general tips about the MyCollegeRoomie platform, and answer the most common questions that come up throughout the summer.
