Sights and Sounds: Welcome Week 2025
From engaging academic kickoffs to fun social gatherings, Welcome Week 2025 had a little something for everyone to enjoy. This year, the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) and the Maxwell School took part in the festivities with their annual Experience A&S | Maxwell event for new students on the Quad. First-year students and their families had the chance to connect with faculty and advisors, engage in hands-on educational activities and dive into the wide range of academic and extracurricular programs offered by A&S | Maxwell—all while snacking on tasty treats in a friendly, festive atmosphere.
