It's been an exciting week at the university as almost 5,400 students moved on campus.

Hundreds of volunteers joined University Housing staff to make the official move-in days, Aug. 13 to Aug. 17, as smooth as possible. These volunteers belong to organizations on campus and in the surrounding community.

"The Arkansas Move-in Experience is always a great success thanks to the volunteers, University Housing staff and our collaboration with campus partners," University Housing executive director Flo Johnson said.
