Eastern Michigan University welcomed nearly 5,000 new students to campus for the fall. The Labor Day weekend included a four-day orientation for freshmen and transfer students; and required lots of volunteers, food and water to ensure a successful event. As part of orientation activities, EMU freshmen moved into the residence halls. The freshmen and their parents enjoyed a convocation ceremony with EMU President Susan Martin and a picnic outside the new Student Center.
