Successful Move-In at University of Arizona: Promoting Sustainability and Community Engagement

Over 6,000 residents moved in over a six-day period at the University of Arizona, showcasing the dynamic Residence Life program. This year, emphasis was placed on sustainability with active cardboard and polystyrene recycling initiatives. Residence Life includes fun activities, training sessions for Hall Directors, and team-building events to encourage a friendly atmosphere. Volunteers are vital in promoting eco-friendly practices and are rewarded through contests and community recognition. Collaboration with Facilities Management and the local community enhances this positive move-in experience.
