Move in day was August 17th for all residents living in Kelley House. This was also a great event. The Dean, Advisors, Assistant Directors, along with other Kelley students volunteered the day to help the new residents move in to the Kelley House. New students and families were able to meet Kelley faculty their first day on campus. Imagine the Dean coming out to your car, helping to carry your clothes and boxes up to your room. Imagine your advisor and directors from the business school helping to carry your T.V., towels, and computers to your room. Many students and parents did not know what was going on at first. They were wondering why all of these people were helping to carry all their belongings to their room for them. They were expecting to spend an hour unloading the car, instead it took a total of 10 minutes per resident, with all the help we had. Both the parents and residents appreciated the help. They were even more excited when they found out the Dean had carried their clothes up to their room. The parents took time to meet and talk with the faculty. This was a win win situation for both the residents and families, as well as Kelley faculty.
