Welcome New and Returning Students!
As part of our efforts to reduce population density in the residence halls during move-in, the Residence Life team will employ a staggered arrival process for all students.  The schedule for each group will be communicated to the students as soon as it is finalized.

See complete list of dates for each student type (New, Returning, Athletes and more.)

Departure replicates the look, sound and feel of the original 80’s rock super group; Journey. All five DEPARTURE band members are from the original line-up and have been together from the very beginning. These veteran musicians love what they do and have developed an amazing on-stage chemistry.

They pride themselves on giving their audience an incredible high-energy, qualitative stage show from start to finish. Dressed in the iconic tuxedo jacket, DEPARTURE lead vocalist, Brian Williams, has an amazing singing voice flawlessly matching Steve Perry’s vocal range and on-stage movements, exactly.

DEPARTURE plays all the hit songs that everyone knows and loves. They perform for 2 hours straight without taking a break to give their audience the true concert experience. Their performance is professional and highly engaging for their audience. Everything heard during their performance is live with no pre-recorded tracks used.
