Getting Started: Welcome Week

A part of the overall orientation experience, Welcome Week is designed to introduce students to their new surroundings, to IU’s learning community, and also to IU’s vast support resources. During Welcome Week, students meet faculty, staff, and other students and partake in a great combination of fun and informational activities.

From the ceremonial Freshman Induction Ceremony, the celebratory “CultureFest” and the exciting “Traditions and Spirit,” new students get a sense of being a part of something very special. Open Houses, tours, academic meetings, and more help students learn about the people, places and resources of Indiana University.

No matter how familiar or unfamiliar you are with the campus before becoming a student, you will be glad you participated in Welcome Week. It’s a must-attend for everyone.
