Happy move-in and welcome back, Trojans! ✌️💚

With classes starting next Monday, campus is coming back to life and a new semester is just around the corner. As students move in and get ready for the first week of classes, it's the perfect time to start fresh.

Let's make this semester a great one by remembering the little things: recycling, reducing, and reusing where we can, and help keep our campus community a greener one. 🌎♻️

Wishing everyone a wonderful start to the semester!
