What has helped, Wang said, has been the effort of the university to keep the group updated on the construction progress, as well as its willingness to provide extra funds to move events elsewhere on campus. Fellow students also have rallied to support the group's efforts. To provide the manpower for the two move-in days, more than 500 undergraduates volunteered to direct traffic, unload cars and pick up students at BWI airport and Penn Station. In an effort to make the move-in more festive, the freshmen and their families and friends arriving on campus this year will be greeted with refreshments, a performing magician and tunes provided by the JHU band. Garonzik said the staff has taken their charge as event organizers very seriously because they understand the significance of orientation days.
Orientation is guaranteed to be an amazing time and a lot of fun.
