undergraduates move onto campus this weekend. The first option would be
the FedEx Global Education underground parking deck. This is located on
the corner of McCauley and Pittsboro Streets. Also consider taking the bus
or parking in the Dogwood Visitors Deck (with a fee) which is
located on Manning Drive diagonally across from UNC Healthcare. Please register for this event.
 Students get active to a song about SPH at the School-Wide Welcome

All SPH undergraduates will be welcomed by the
Assistant Dean for Students and have an opportunity to meet with program
