Fall Opening
Fall Opening has something for everyone!
Enrollment Management and Student Affairs has activities and programming for all students kicking off the fall 2023 semester. We know this is a busy time, so we've called in our best employees and students to help you navigate campus and all its excitement (with a splash of chaos). You'll discover opportunities to get involved, go swimming in the lazy river at the ARC, get information about campus resources, blow off some steam at the Oak Street Roast and so much more.
We are here for you and we want your semester to be more amazing than you could imagine.
Operation Move In
August 15-17, 2024
These few days before the start of classes are new and current students move into campus housing and get settled and ready to start the semester.
First Flight
August 15-18, 2024
First Flight is a pre-welcome week experience created to help students in their first or second year navigate life in and out of the classroom at UTC.
Welcome Week
August 18-24, 2024
The first week of classes is jam-packed with daily, free activities for students to have fun, meet other Mocs get involved and get familiar with the campus.
Volunteer sign-ups for Welcome Week and Operation Move In are now open.
Volunteering
One of the greatest parts about this season is the individuals and groups who step up to help new and returning members of the Mocs family. We couldn't do it without you! Sign up early to get your choice of volunteer spots.
Operation Move In
August 15-17
Volunteer assignments cover everything from greeting students and their family, parking, traffic, and unloading cars. This is a great way to welcome our students and help them settle into their new homes on campus. Multiple shifts are available.
Oak Street Roast
August 18 from 7-9 p.m.
We are looking for UTC faculty/staff volunteers to help with set up, clean up, check-in, food and drink distribution (grab and go only), and managing and monitoring our activities and inflatables. Multiple shifts are available.
Welcome Week Tables
August 19 and 20
Welcome Tables are designed to welcome students back to campus at the start of the semester and distribute campus maps, information about Welcome Week, and answer general questions from new and returning students.
