Posted By: How May I Help You NC on August 16, 2015 By Tevin Stinson The Chronicle On Sunday, Aug. 9 Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) welcomed a new generation of Rams onto campus during the official move-in day for the class of 2019.

To help ease that transition, WSSU scheduled a week full of classroom sessions, campus life workshops, and social activities. The week of activities will end with a “Through the Archway” rite of passage ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 15.
