Campus welcomes Class of 2026, visiting families this weekend

A message posted on the institution’s Facebook page congratulated the Class of 2026 and welcomed families and friends joining the campus this weekend.

The brief post did not list specific events, but arriving students and their guests typically encounter move-in activities, orientation sessions and introductions to academic and student-life resources. Colleges and high schools commonly use this time to register students for classes, assign housing and connect families with campus services.

Orientation weekends mark a major transition for new students and are often the first chance for families to meet staff and learn about support services such as advising, health centers and counseling. Local businesses also frequently see increased traffic when families travel to campus for arrival and commencement-related weekends.

For details about schedules, locations and safety protocols, check the institution’s official website or social media channels. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
