As Lubbock Christian University kicked off its 66th academic year in August, the community welcomed 419 new students to campus, joining their 1,177 returning peers. During a cool, rainy move-in day, faculty, staff, resident assistants, and other returning Chaparrals helped the incoming freshmen settle into the residence halls before GO Orientation began.
