JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Hundreds of Jackson State University (JSU) students packed the Athletic Assembly Center on Saturday for the 2024 Move-in Day.

There were booths for registration for housing, financial aid, and the business office.

Jonas Vanderbilt, vice president for Student Affairs, said the student government and the royal court assisted with workshops.

“We want to make sure we get as many students involved and help us get them activities. You know, we want to create memories here at the state as well. HBCU is known for creating memories and legacies. And so, here the legacy of Jackson State starts with these students who come here today,” he said.

According to Vanderbilt, the university has some big plans for homecoming this year.
