CEDAR HILL, Texas –Northwood University will host its annual New Students Move-in Day on Friday, August 24. Many fun events have been scheduled to help our new freshmen and their families adjust to college life.
The New Student Check-in begins at 9AM and runs to 1PM in Lambert Commons while returning students will check in between 2:30PM-4:30PM. Students have the opportunity to pick up a grab and go lunch from 11:00AM-2:00PM in the cafeteria. After a long day of moving students are welcomed to have dinner in cafeteria between 5:30pm-6:30pm followed by a required dorm meeting with their assigned resident assistant.
Northwood University is happy to welcome back to the Texas campus Jonny Zavant who will again entertain the Knights with his exceptional mind reading abilities.
The next day the new Knights will participate in Squire Camp which is a two-day event of team building, leadership and communication skills as well as developing lasting bonds with new friends. Students will hear presentations on topics such as crisis management response, campus traditions and campus and community engagement opportunities. Students also participate in a ropes course challenge and team building exercises. Recreational events are planned on and off campus culminating with the Ethics Ceremony and the softball challenge between new and returning students. The objective of the event is to ensure students have the information they need to succeed in their first year and a support network of peers.
