Following summer experiences around the globe, new and returning East Texas Baptist University students arrived on campus for the August Mini-Term, Move-In Day, Tiger Camp, and the start of the 2025-2026 academic year on August 18.

Each year, ETBU faculty, staff, and students come together to welcome incoming freshmen and transfer students by lending a helping hand on Move-In Day. This year was no different, as they gathered at each residence hall, greeted new students and their families, and helped lift moving boxes, big and small, up to each student's room.
