Purdue University will celebrate the beginning of the fall semester by highlighting student events and programming through Oct. 11.

Known as Weeks of Welcome, the events will introduce students to the vibrant extracurricular experiences generations of Boilermakers have enjoyed. This collaborative effort includes departments and areas within Student Life as well as more than 1,000 registered student organizations.

Weeks of Welcome in West Lafayette kicks off with Student Activities and Organizations’ B-Involved Fair, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 22, from noon-3 p.m. on Memorial Mall. The B-Involved Fair in Indianapolis will take place Wednesday, Aug. 26, from 3-6 p.m. in Boiler Park. The fairs are the premier opportunity for students to learn about and connect with the university’s expansive group of more than 1,000 student organizations.

Campus units and registered student organizations are encouraged to use the hashtag #PurdueWOW to make events easily searchable for students. The Weeks of Welcome webpage linked above will serve as a home for these posts and can be shared with students in campuswide communication efforts.
