On Saturday and Sunday, EMU welcomed approximately 485 new and returning residential students back to campus\u00a0for move-in, orientation and welcoming activities. Classes begin Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After check-in and move-in, students were invited to a multitude of activities on Sunday, with several options to create your own triathlon, pentathlon or decathlon (biking with the Cycling Club, running with the XC team, yoga, ping-pong, foosball, climbing wall, spectating the hens at EMU&#8217;s chicken coops, etc.) and other more serious intellectually leaning activities (visiting the Sustainable Food Initiative&#8217;s gardens, a faith and spirituality discussion, exploring EMU&#8217;s trash and recycling systems, Green Dot bystander training).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Enjoy some photos of the weekend, courtesy of EMU photographer and alumna Rachel Holderman.<\/strong><\/em><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
