Saint Louis University's Fall Welcome kicked off Thursday, Aug. 18, with the first
wave of students arriving on campus.
The Fall Welcome is full of campus traditions to mark the arrival of our new and returning
Billikens. Check out some pictures from the first day of Fall Move-In.

Move-In is just part of the welcome. Fall Welcome includes events like the student-led
"Live the Oath" presentation, mixed with an array of social programs to help students
connect with one another and the University.
Students can take part in game nights, resource fairs, their academic orientation.
