MTSU celebrated the official start of the 2019-20 academic year with Convocation, this year featuring Tara Westover, historian and author of “Educated: A Memoir,” addressing the Class of 2023 — the third-largest freshman class in the history of MTSU and an estimated 2,500 new students moved into MTSU campus housing.

Or this video of the well-oiled machine that is officially called We-Haul, MTSU Center for Student Involvement and Leadership’s organized event to help new and returning students and their families move into campus housing at Cummings and Corlew halls and other residence facilities.
The We-Haul effort, which includes volunteers from campus ministries, fraternities and sororities, the Charlie and Hazel Daniels Veterans and Military Family Center, ROTC cadets and a small army from Belle-Aire Baptist Church and others, continues from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, though students will be moving in the entire day.
