To ensure a smooth move in process and to eliminate congestion in the Freshmen Residence Hall living areas, the University has instituted Operation Smooth Move. Operation Smooth Move is a cooperative campus wide effort by which students, administrators, faculty and staff volunteers stand ready to assist you with direction and guidance as you transition onto campus.
