It was a day of firsts for more than 900 new Rice University freshmen who descended on campus Aug. 17 for Move-In Day, which marked the beginning of O-Week, the weeklong orientation program designed to familiarize incoming first-year, transfer and foreign exchange students with their new campus, residential colleges and classmates. Across campus, cheers and laughter filled the air as O-Week advisers rushed to arriving cars to greet students by chanting their names and helping unload their belongings. Members of the Rice football team joined in moving the new students’ belongings into the residential colleges to give parents a chance to say goodbye to their children.
