Auburn University President Steven Leath personally helped move students into their new dorm rooms on Friday.

In a picture posted by Brian Keeter, Auburn’s Director of Public Affairs, Leath can be seen hoisting a mattress above his head as he assists incoming students.

This was a part of the university’s early move-in period, as was last Monday. These dates are set aside for returning band members, potential new sorority members, Army and Navy ROTC students and select other groups, according to Auburn Residence Life director Virginia Koch.

The remaining student population is scheduled to move in on Thursday of this week.

Per the Opelika-Auburn News, a new move-in system is being utilized this year, which has reportedly improved the process for incoming students and their families.
