Move-in Day & Great Beginnings
To ease new students into the Murray State swing of things, the university created its Great Beginnings program. It starts off with faculty, staff, student organizations and community members working together to help students move in. Following move-in day, there is an entire week of activities designed to familiarize new students, commuters and residents alike, with the university and welcome them to the community, and subsequently get students’ semesters started out on a good foot. Activities include Racer Hospitality meet-and-greets, luncheons, city tours, campus tours, residential college lawn parties, presentations and informational skits, movie nights, book signings and the annual appearance by hypnotist Tom Deluca. The program has been welcoming new students to Murray since 1994.
