More than 2,200 freshmen participated in EMU’s new student orientation from Saturday to Tuesday. Fajita Fest was a chance for students to find student organizations that interest them and potentially get them involved in campus happenings.

The resident hall stair wells, like this one, were packed as parents, new students, and campus org helpers crammed all the incoming freshmen’s belongings into the res halls.
