DALLAS — Misericordia University welcomed the Class of 2030 — the largest undergraduate first-year class in the university’s history — during move-in day, which included a convocation ceremony on Thursday.

First-year students and their families began arriving on campus at approximately 8 a.m. to move into residence halls and prepare for the start of the academic year. Faculty, staff, student-athletes and other campus volunteers assisted families throughout the morning, reflecting Misericordia’s longstanding tradition of hospitality and community.

The day was set to culminate with the university’s annual convocation ceremony at 2 p.m. in the Anderson Center.
