New students arrived Aug. 20 for Move-In Day and were greeted on campus by 75 enthusiastic volunteers, including current students and Marymount faculty and staff.

“You have so much to look forward to, and I’m so happy to have you all on board,” university president Irma Becerra said during first-week activities.

Marymount’s Class of 2028 includes students from 31 states and territories and 19 countries, including Brazil, China, Ethiopia, Mexico, Mongolia and Thailand. The average GPA for admitted students is 3.64, one of the highest on record for the university.
