Hello Bulldogs! Whether you are a returning student or a fresh face on campus, here is some information, advice, and events to remember as we prepare for the new semester!
Getting ready for college can be stressful, especially with information surrounding the college and knowing what to expect. The following information can be found at Today@Dean in better detail. It can be accessed by the first part of your Dean email and the password you set for said email.
Before the official school year starts, a few sports events are happening! On the 30th the Men’s Soccer Team will also be scrimmaging against Lesley University, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Longley Athletic Complex. Also, on the 30th the Women’s Volleyball Team competes in a home game against Bay Path from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Pieri Gymnasium. Dean has such an amazing and supportive sports community, so please stop by any of the games and give them a big cheer! Go Bulldogs!
When it comes to move-in times, for Arch students, the move-in date is August 29th between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM. It is recommended arriving thirty minutes before your planned arrival time, so you can check in and start unloading your things. There is a wonderful volunteer move-in crew who will be there to assist. Be sure to check your Dean email for a more detailed explanation on moving in and schedules.
New resident move-in will be on August 30th which, according to Today@Dean, is taking place all day. Once again, the move-in crew will be available to help carry things to dorms, and do not hesitate to ask the staff questions or concerns.
Finally, returning students move in on September 1st. Depending on your residence hall and room number, you can find your exact move-in time in your Dean email, as well has the official Move-In Day Information Page.
Speaking of returning, please check Today@Dean for official mealtimes. They are opening all dining centers including Boomers and the Bulldog Beanery. Below is the official schedule from Today@Dean regarding the Smith Dining Center, as well as other on-campus dining locations.
