Welcome to Spring, Penguins! Flowers were blooming, and the sun was shining when students returned to campus during Spring Welcome Week on April 6, and they took full advantage of the weather as they adjusted to their new classes. Students read underneath the cherry blossom trees, chatted on the steps by the Anderson Fountain, and spent breaks between classes walking around campus. 

Thank you to all employees who staffed informational tables and ensured new students had plenty of support as they navigated their way around! 

Spring term festivities continue next week with the Student Involvement Fair on Tuesday, April 14, and the Sakura Festival on Thursday, April 16.
