To ensure the health and safety of our campus community, we’ve made the decision to cancel Week of Welcome, which was scheduled for Jan. 10-14, 2022. Some events may be rescheduled for later in the spring semester. We’ll continue to share information as we have it and will keep our websites and events calendar up to date.
The spring semester is approaching, and IUPUI is ready to welcome new and returning students to a fun-filled semester. After a long winter break, kick off the first week of classes with 15 events hosted right on campus. Whether you’re looking to meet new people, get involved or wanting something fun to do, Week of Welcome has it all. Explore all that campus life has to offer by attending this can’t-miss IUPUI tradition. At IUPUI’s WOW events you will:
The start of a new semester is a great opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and make connections -- and WOW provides the space to do just that. Strike up a conversation with someone at the WOW Kickoff, while enjoying snacks, playing games and decorating a new mug for Mugs Not Drugs. Or invite a new friend to the Student Activities Programming Board’s (SAPB) first movie night of the semester. If you’re new to IUPUI, stop by the Transfer and Adult Student Social to meet other incoming students who are also on campus for the first time.
It’s never too late to explore one of your many interests. IUPUI offers several ways for you to get involved or access resources to be your best self. Connect with students who share your passions at the Spring Student Involvement Expo, where you can learn about and sign up for hundreds of IUPUI student organizations. Engage with on-campus and community resources at the Health and Wellness Fair to make healthy changes this year. If travel piques your interest, you can learn about scholarship opportunities, financial aid and program options at the Study Abroad Fair. At Paws’ Party, browse the clothing racks at the Paws’ Closet pop-up shop or help pack snack bags for Paws' Pantry.
Getting acclimated to a new class schedule and semester routine has never been so exciting! Celebrate the start of the new year by lacing up a pair of roller skates (which will be provided) at the Jaguar Roller Skating Party. Embrace your Jaguar spirit and score free IUPUI swag while attending the IUPUI men’s basketball game against the University of Illinois at Chicago. Or warm up from the cold weather with a cup of hot chocolate as you paint a canvas at RHA’s Cocoa and Canvas event.
All of the WOW events above and many more are happening throughout the week of Jan. 10. Head to wow.iupui.edu for more details.
