What: Washburn University Move-In Day

When: 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., August 11 – 13, 2020

President Farley will be greeting students beginning at 11 a.m. starting at the Living Learning Center (LLC), and then will move to Lincoln Hall. He will be accompanied by Patrick Early, public relations director. You can call Patrick Early at (717) 385 – 1119 to get Farley’s location at any time.

Where:

  • The Living Learning Center (adjacent to the Memorial Union, accessed via Jewell Ave. from 17th St.)
  • Lincoln Hall (off of 19th St.)
  • Washburn Villages (off of Jewell Ave. from 21st St.)

Move-In Day is the start of university-wide activities designed to help new and returning students become acclimated to campus, learn a little more about student life at Washburn, and hopefully make a few new friends.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Move-in Day, traditionally a single day, has been extended to three days. Students received an assigned timeslot to reduce traffic in the residence halls and were asked to bring only two guests to help them move in to their residence hall. Face coverings are required in all buildings on campus.
