<\/div>\n

<\/h4>\n

The required CommonVU Orientation begins on Move-In Day in mid-August (date TBA) and offers activities and programs for first-year students to introduce you to the living-learning communities of your houses and The Ingram Commons, the faculties and academic classes of your schools, the norms and values of the 天美传媒官网 community, upper-division students and their organizations, and Nashville. Additionally, you will meet your student and faculty VUceptors who will serve as guides throughout your first semester at Vanderbilt.<\/p>\n

Parents and families are invited to join in on Move-In Day, with specialized programming in the evening. More information about these sessions will be available in July. Beginning on Sunday, all programming is for students only.<\/p>\n
