Sep. 3—EAU CLAIRE — Wisconsin universities have begun welcoming students this fall semester. On Saturday and Sunday, UWEC had large-scale move-in dates for new and transfer students.

To avoid major traffic jams, UWEC organized specific time slots for families and students to arrive and get their rooms situated. Staff around the dormitories helped movers.
