Friendly Faces	Shopping Shuttles
Between our student leaders and campus administrators, you will be greeted in style as we help unload vehicles, navigate students around campus, and ensure your move-in experience is memorable.	Forget something at home? Not to worry! Complimentary Shopping Shuttles will be making round trips to a local shopping center complete with Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Target, and more.

Lunch and Hydration	Efficient Process

Hydration Stations will be placed around campus and starting at 11am, you are invited to join us for lunch in the Emory Student Center.	It will be important that you help in doing your part to keeping move-in as efficient as possible. Be sure to review all the relevant resources in the weeks leading up to move-in.
