Move-In Barbecue

Moving new students into residence halls is an exhausting experience, but meeting other Villanova family members shouldn't be! Please stop by the Move-In Barbecue, sponsored by the Villanova Parents' Committee, during Move-In Day to enjoy something to eat with other Villanova families. All parents and family members of freshmen students are invited! It's a great break during a hectic day of moving in. There will be barbecue locations throughout campus. More details in the August Newsletter.
