WELCOME WEEK kicks off August 16, 2003!

July 24, 2003

In mid-August, as the freshmen arrive on campus and the upper-class students return to campus after the long days of summer, Schreiner University provides a Welcome Week filled with activities to keep everyone busy. Challenging and fun can describe the things available for students to do before and after classes begin.

Welcome Week begins a little sooner for the freshmen as they settle into their new home on August 16. Quickly, the learning begins as they encounter a new roommate, say goodbye to their parents, and get started with their first year in college.

In the days before classes begin, the first-year students will get acquainted with the university by learning in-depth about the services we provide, the challenges they will face as a college student, and about each other - they will form bonds with the students of their freshmen seminar course on our campus Ropes Course. Activities such as a Beach Party Dinner will make sure that the new students have fun too!

Other programs open to all students include the M4 Motion Simulator on the quad and Money Tree Game Show in the Corner Pocket on the first day of classes, Rock-N-Bowl at the Family Sports Center, and a movie night on Friday. The Welcome Week tradition continues this year with a lot of fun for all students.
