More than 1,500 first-year and transfer students moved into residence halls at Slippery Rock University, Aug. 17. The day marked the beginning of SRU's Week of Welcome, a series of events created to acclimate first-year students to college life and life away from home for the first time. Returning students move in Aug. 20 and fall semester classes begin Aug. 21. Additional images by Megan Nassif, a junior converged journalism major from Greensburg.
