University of Alberta campuses are once again buzzing with students. Over the past week, more than 3,000 students, along with some emotional parents, hauled their belongings into their new campus residences for the school year. Thank you to all our volunteer faculty and staff for helping students become part of the dynamic campus life at the U of A.
