A weekend full of events, programs will take place before the start of the term.
TU is ready to welcome students back in style.
From August 24-28 all throughout campus, “Welcome to TU” is an annual series of events and programs for students. Students have many opportunities to meet new people while preparing for the fall term.
A partnership between Student Activities and New Student and Family Programs (NSFP), “Welcome to TU” allows students to interact with different departments and organizations on campus.
“We are so excited to get this weekend started and help introduce new students to our beautiful campus,” says Erin McNeil ’23, a student director in NSFP who is helping to coordinate “Welcome to TU.”
“What I am most looking forward to for ‘Welcome To TU’ is our signature events, which to me are memorable sessions that help students think about who they want to be and what they want to experience throughout their undergraduate career. It was such a memorable experience for me as a freshman and I hope that our incoming students this year feel the same.”
With so many events planned for the weekend, here are a few highlights:
