Move-in day, without those hugs
Some College students return to campus for a cautious spring semester
College students living on campus this semester moved in last week, ahead of Monday’s start to classes. COVID testing and meal pick up were part of the activities to prepare for House and dorm life.

Outside the Smith Campus Center, junior Sephora Ruppert (from left) and sophomore Achele Agada talk with Dean of Students Katie O’Dair as they wait in line to be tested for COVID-19 before moving in to Cabot (for Ruppert) and Dunster House (for Agada).
