Emory’s first-year students — the Class of 2028 — have officially arrived on campus and are settling into their new homes for the 2024-25 school year.

Students participating in preorientation and International Student Welcome programs arrived on campus beginning Aug. 19. Others arrived over the weekend: Oxford College first-year students were welcomed on Friday and Emory College of Arts and Sciences students on Saturday. 

The days were exciting but bittersweet and included both laughter and tears from students and their families as they unloaded boxes.

Every aspect of move-in was made better by the hundreds of staff and student volunteers on hand for whatever was needed. Thanks to all who made move-in possible and helped make the students’ first days at Emory great.
