Aug. 21 was Move-In Day at Cal U. In keeping with tradition, volunteer students and staff were on hand to welcome first-year students and help them move in to the main-campus residence halls. Move-In Day also marked the start of Cal U for Life New Student Orientation, a series of workshops and activities that helps first-year students meet their classmates and explore Cal U programs and services. Orientation ended Aug. 23 with a New Student Convocation and a candlelight ceremony on the Quad, followed by fireworks.
