A question about move-in weekend in August

I’m probably confused, but I thought Founders Walk was on Saturday the year my son was a freshman, just before a picnic meal for students and families and a bunch of welcoming talks by luminaries. I remember participating in something that involved a procession through the gates, with a lot of current Vanderbilt students lining the sidewalks to cheer the new students on. If it has been moved to later in the day on Sunday, then parents probably won’t be involved.

Things changed last year when summer orientation was dropped in favor of orientation at the start of the semester.
