You want dedication? This weekend, 257 volunteers will travel up and down 5,360 flights of stairs and burn over 78,000 calories; all in the name of helping #FREDbound students settle in for the 2016-17 academic year.
It’s Move-In weekend, and Fredonia’s Residence Life office is ready to make the move from home to campus as smooth as possible. Again this year, Fredonia’s move-in crew will consist of 10 student organizations, including several athletic teams. They will help students and parents quickly and efficiently take all belongings to each residence hall room, whether it’s on the ground floor or the third floor. It doesn’t matter what students bring; they will carry anything. It’s estimated the crew will move over 1,000 mini-refrigerators and 668 lbs. of Ramen noodles (we did the math!).
