Brock University\u2019s residences will soon be buzzing with Badgers, boxes and the hum of new beginnings.<\/p>\n
From Saturday, Aug.\u202f30 to Sunday, Aug.\u202f31, approximately 2,800 students will begin their on\u2011campus experience, getting settled into Brock Suites alongside the University\u2019s traditional eight residences<\/a> and preparing for the start of Fall Term next week.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s nothing like the energy of Move-in Weekend. It\u2019s that mix of hope, cheer and just a little bit of nervous excitement,\u201d says Cindy Chernish, Director of Housing Services. \u201cWe\u2019ve spent months behind the scenes getting ready, and now it\u2019s all about welcoming students with open arms.\u201d<\/p>\n During the weekend, students will move in through assigned time slots between 8\u202fa.m. and 5\u202fp.m., with volunteers helping to ensure a smooth flow of families and furniture.<\/p>\n \u201cWe choreograph these details like a dance, from time slots to support teams, to help our students and their families feel seen, supported and ready to start strong,\u201d Chernish says.<\/p>\n To assist with every transition, key campus services such as Dining, Parking, IT Help Desk, Brock Card, Campus Store and the Walker Sports Complex will be fully operational and staffed throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n The occasion also marks the kickoff to Welcome Week<\/a>, running through early September and featuring events like the New Student Welcome, academic orientations, fire\u2011safety demonstrations, consent workshops and the Brock Cares Day of Service<\/a>, which will see students volunteer with community organizations across Niagara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brock University\u2019s residences will soon be buzzing with Badgers, boxes and the hum of new beginnings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":104006,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3319,4767,1],"tags":[11925,3308,11924,6924],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104002"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/49"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104002"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104002\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":104011,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104002\/revisions\/104011"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
