As new and returning students converge upon campus this week, free food, drinks and entertainment will be available each day as part of Campus Activities Council’s Winter Welcome Week.
The week’s events are intended to help students return to campus life, Welcome Week chairman Tyler Bridegan said.
“We view Winter Welcome Week’s purpose to be to welcome back returning students as well as welcome in international and transfer students,” he said.
CAC made a concerted effort to include a diverse range of student groups and opportunities for involvement in welcome week, Bridegan said.
“This year more than ever, Winter Welcome Week executives stressed the importance of including as many student groups as possible,” Bridegan said. “We are co-programming and having participation from over 10 major student organizations and we are thrilled about that.”
Representatives from campus chapters of the Women’s Outreach Center, Big Event, Black Student Association Stompdown, Black Student Association Big 12 Conference and Dance Marathon will all participate, Bridegan said.
The festivities are intended not only to welcome students, but also to demonstrate CAC’s role in campus life, Dance Marathon chairwoman Anissa Angier said.
“CAC members want to let people know how they are involved on campus and we feel like this is a great way to do it,” said Angier, who functioned as vice president during fall’s Howdy Week. “I’m definitely excited.
Corrections: The schedule of events with a Jan. 17, 2012, story, CAC to welcome back students with free food, games, erroneously included the events from the 2011 Winter Welcome Week. The schedule has been corrected to list the 2012 events.
