The joy, the vibes, the unmatched energy: From the first swell of cheers at residence Move-In to the final strains of music at night, Welcome Week 2025 has been one for the books.
Thousands of faculty reps poured all their energy into giving new students the most rousing, fun-filled, informative and embracing welcome imaginable.
There’s not enough internet for all the memories from the past week, but here are some highlights:
