The Chattanooga Mocs are excited that August is here. That means students are due back on campus with Operation Move-In yesterday as classes start Monday, August 21. The Mocs are not alone.
The Chattanooga Lookouts, the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, and Chattanooga FC, the crown jewel of the NISL, are also ready to welcome back the Mocs throng. The trio represents the best of the sports entertainment options in the Tennessee Valley and have a special event planned to welcome home returning students as well as introduce themselves to the new.
Coca-Cola is sponsoring the welcome event on Tuesday, August 22.
The fan fest type gathering is from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., on Chamberlain Field in the center of campus. There are free t-shirts for the first 500 students as well as other giveaways throughout the event.
The Lookouts, CFC and the multiple Mocs athletic squads will be on hand for meet and greets. Activities aplenty as well with ice cold Coca-Cola to tie it all in the perfect bow.
“We’re excited to join with community partners like the Lookouts and CFC,” Vice-Chancellor for Athletics Mark Wharton shared. “It will be a fantastic opportunity for our students to meet our athletes as well as the finest professionals in the city. CFC is the standard in their league, and the Lookouts won the first half of theirs and always put on a good show.
“We look forward to meeting students new and old and make connections that bring our campus and community even closer together.”
