Home > Features > Move-in Madness: Students get a soggy start to the semester
By Joseph Lyell —
Move-in day was a sloppy affair for U of L students on Aug. 16. Heavy rains flooded Old Eastern Parkway and left most Belknap sidewalks ankle-deep in water.
Students and orientation staff braved the wet with wheeling boxes and dollies underneath ponchos and umbrellas to move belongings into their new homes.
President Neeli Bendapudi even helped some students move into their rooms in Threlkeld Hall, along with Interim Provost Beth Boehm and Dean of Students Michael Mardis (below).
