• You will have learned some American Sign Language
• You will have more brown and orange clothing in your closet
• You will understand the huge sculpture in front of the Student Alumni Union
• You will have figured out where to get a great cup of coffee
• You will have had the chance to go rock climbing, ice skating, or dancing
• You will know where to go if you have a cold, a financial aid question, or a sweet tooth

Move-in Day for Freshman Orientation will is Tuesday, August 20, 2013.  Fall semester classes will begin on August 26.
