Dear New ZagFams,

We are very excited to welcome you to the community! As you've been preparing to move your Zag onto campus we have been planning an orientation program that will provide you with a wealth of knowledge, a sense of calm, and confidence that your student is indeed at their home away from home.

We would like to provide you with some information regarding what the move-in process will look like on Friday, August 25th.

Weather

Forecast as of Tuesday, August 22nd:

Friday, August 25th - 82°F | Saturday, August 26th - 88°F | Sunday, August 27th - 93°F

It is going to get hotter as the weekend goes on, but certainly not as hot as it could've been! Be sure to bring water. There will be blue barrels placed around campus for refilling water bottles in addition to bottle-filling stations available in various buildings across campus.
