person33,
Good catch! I did not notice that small detail in lafayette1234's post.
Just to reiterate, the June Academic Advising days were designed to help incoming students choose their classes. New Student Orientation is designed to familiarize first-year students with campus resources and get them to mingle with one another.
According to the online calendar, New Student Orientation will run from Thursday, August 23rd through Sunday, August 26th. Thursday may be intended for move-in (never before has Orientation run for four days!), and I imagine the actual Orientation activities will begin Friday morning.
