Affinity Welcome Celebrations
The Affinity Welcome Celebrations serve as an introduction to specific resources on campus and give students the opportunity to meet and engage with one another in a purposefully inclusive environment. These celebrations are open to all students. The Welcomes also provide an opportunity for all faculty, staff and students in attendance to mingle and get to know one another outside of the constraints of a classroom environment. Please join us for food, music, and games as we celebrate our students and the start of the fall semester.
Check out the schedule below for individual events.
