Rice University greeted the incoming Class of 2027 for the first time during an eventful, emotional and celebratory O-Week move-in day on Aug. 13.
Hundreds of Rice students who volunteered to lead new students through O-Week awaited the arriving parliament of Owls as they flooded through the campus bright and early Sunday morning looking to acclimate to their new educational home.
“Move-in day is the first day that the newest Owls step on campus, so obviously we want to make a great first impression to them,” said Alan Tapper, president of Hanszen College and a senior. “Not only is it their first time on Rice's campus, it is also their first time at Hanszen, so we want to welcome them with open arms, make sure that they are included and supported, and that they have a great time.”
