  • Bull Haul Volunteer Training

    August 21, 2024

    Volunteers attended a training session to learn what to do and what not to do on Grand Opening Day! This is where they received their volunteer shirt, swag bag, and snacks for move-in day! 

  • Grand Opening Day!

    August 22, 2024

    Grand Opening Day is the day where all residents are welcome to move into their residence halls on campus. With the help of our Bull Haul Volunteers, we were able to move-in nearly 3,000 residents on Grand Opening alone!
