Monday, August 19 & Tuesday, August 20

As alumni, we know the minute new students arrive on campus they become Lakers for a Lifetime. Join us in Allendale as we welcome our newest Lakers, and their families, to their home-away-from home by offering a helping hand as they join the Grand Valley community.

You’ll receive a t-shirt at check-in and breakfast, drinks, and snacks will be provided.

Monday, August 19 Move-In is for affinity groups arriving early for their specific orientations. Tuesday, August 20 is general first-year Move-In.

DAILY SCHEDULE: 
8:30-9:00 a.m. Registration and breakfast (Alumni House)
9:00 a.m. Welcome (Alumni House)

This event will go on rain or shine as our new students will arrive regardless of the weather.
