Photo gallery Move out at a distance
For the past week, students have been returning to residence halls to gather their belongings. University Housing organized the move-outs in staggered time periods from April 27 to May 7 and participants are required to practice social distancing and safety protocols. Many students left campus for spring break in mid-March thinking the campus would only be temporarily closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the decision was subsequently made to end face-to-face instruction for the semester.
