University at Albany Vice President and Director of Athletics Lee McElroy joined the class of 2012 to assist with the freshman class’ move-in onto State Quad resident hall on Friday, Aug. 22.

Approximately 84 freshmen student-athletes will be residing on State Quad during the academic year. Because several of UAlbany’s athletic teams require staying on campus over school breaks, they are placed in dorms that allow recess housing, which includes State Quad. Upperclassmen are able to reside in Freedom and Empire housing.

McElroy, who assists with freshmen move-in each year, is in his ninth year at the helm of the UAlbany athletic department. He believes that getting involved with move-in is a good way to get an early word out about UAlbany athletics. Classes begin on Monday, Aug. 25.

“We are a part of the greater UAlbany community,” McElroy said. “We receive a lot of support from faculty, staff and students, and we want to be able to give back and support the rest of campus as a part of the UAlbany team.”
