About 1,300 Cal State San Bernardino students moved into campus housing on Sunday, Sept. 15, just days away from the first day of classes for the 2019-20 academic year.
 
“Move-In Day” officially kicked off Welcome Week 2019 for students who will make the university’s residence halls and apartments their home for the year.  Classes for the fall quarter begin Thursday, Sept. 19.
 
First-year students moved into Coyote Village, which features study spaces, a large multi-purpose room and is home to two faculty-in-residence and the university’s Honors Program. Returning students will also be moving into the university’s Serrano and Arrowhead villages on campus as well as into University Village, an apartment-style complex across the street on Northpark Boulevard.
 
Sunday featured various activities for the students and volunteers including a Faculty-in-Residence, Parent and Family Welcome at 2 p.m., and a meeting with resident assistants from 2:30-5 p.m. And students and their families were also invited to participate the Mexican Independence Day celebration at  the patio area of the university’s Meeting Center (formerly known as the commons).
 
CSUSB joined with university’s Latino Education & Advocacy Days project, Associated Students, Inc. and the Mexican Consulate in San Bernardino to host the celebration, which featured the traditional ringing of a bell and “El Grito,” the cry for patriotism. The free event is the consulate’s official celebration of Mexican Independence Day for the Inland area.
