In an effort to help the students acclimate to university life, the Office of Student Affairs has planned numerous activities during “Welcome Week,” August 15-19. Planned activities include airboat rides, a trip to local malls, movie socials, and hypnotist party in the Student Union, and “Into the Streets,” Volunteer Day.
