Locations for the pods has not been modified but with construction on campus the Smith Location will need to be at least for this year. Historically they have been…
- Smith – North side of building by Service and Delivery Parking
- Welch & Thomson – Loading dock area of parking lot
- Stuy – West side of building near Student Observatory
- Chappelear – Front of building
- Hayes – North side of building in the parking lot
Since COVID-19
With most students rushed off campus after an extended Spring Break, Meg Edwards spear-headed Manic Moveout in place of Mini May Moveout since Goodwill was still willing to bring a truck to campus. Unfortunately the turn out was a little less than we were hoping but I think that had more to do with the Pandemic than planning or advertising.
It seems that May Moveout might be paused for now but I am working on compiling the information of the google drive onto the May Moveout website https://maymoveout.owu.edu/
