Biola University welcomed its largest incoming class on Aug. 19, 2011 as more than 1,200 new undergraduate students arrived to move into dorms and start the school year — just a fraction of the more than 6,000 students who will study this fall at Biola.  Student leaders and employees decked out in red welcomed students and families as they pulled into campus with cars full of dorm essentials. President Barry H. Corey will host a welcome celebration this evening, providing a time for students and families to look forward to the upcoming year.
