Welcome New Students!

2022 Sep 7

Muhlenberg recently welcomed the newest members of our community, including Adrian Padron-Curet of Guaynabo.

Excitement was palpable on campus as the College greeted the Class of 2026 - the most diverse in Muhlenberg's history and hailing from 28 states and four countries - as well as new transfer students and School of Continuing Studies students for the 2022-2023 academic year.

Move in and orientation began for first-year students on Thursday, August 25. Student teams helped carry boxes and bins to residence hall rooms, the College's Green Team oversaw recycling efforts and President Kathleen Harring welcomed new arrivals and their families.

Events throughout the weekend included information sessions with Orientation Leaders; social gatherings for new students; a celebration of Muhlenberg's traditions, including the signing of the matriculation ledger at the President's House, a candle-lighting ceremony and learning the College's Alma Mater; and a faculty welcome and first lecture.

The start of the academic year officially kicked off with opening convocation on Sunday afternoon, August 28, followed by a campus-wide BBQ.
