This video titled, “Move-In Day at Elon,” occurred on Friday, August 24, 2001 around Elon University’s campus. This video is raw footage of the Class of 2005 moving into their residential halls. Staff were assisting parents and students moving their items from cars/SUVS onto Elon’s John Deere trucks. Each new student’s car/SUV received a number and each number was being called out in the McEwen parking (in 2015 this parking lot was eliminated due to the expansion of the School of Communications) lot to unload. Shots of bedding on the brick patio of West Dorm are seen. Students’ registration under a yellow and white tent. Parents register at the parents’ table. Current Elon University students were tending to the registration tables. Paul Holt and Fred Melchor were seen working at the Help Desk table with other Elon colleagues. Parents were unloading an SUV. An Elon student provided a new Elon parent’s car with directions of how to check-in and move-in to the Chandler Residence Hall (in 2016 known as the Global Neighborhood).
