Welcome Week is a great way to start your semester at UofL! There are 50+ events in 5 days, including some of the most memorable events students will attend during their time at the university. An essential experience for every new student, Welcome Week helps you make the transition from summertime student-to-be to first-time UofL student!

What Happens at Welcome Week?

There is so much to do! Even the most enthusiastic student may not be able to attend all the events, but be sure to attend the Signature Events, taking place on Friday, August 23 and Saturday, August 24. These 6 events are the ones we expect ALL INCOMING STUDENTS to attend. Don't forget to bring your student ID to Signature Events to be swiped in for attendance!
