The first annual Husky Haulers program on August 22nd, 2008 proved to be very successful. Seventy fraternity and sorority members, along with other student leaders, volunteered to help the freshman move their belongings into the Northwest Residence Halls. Families appreciated the extra help Husky Haulers gave their students. It was a wonderful opportunity lend a helping hand and meet new students and their families.
