What is Welcome Weekend?

Welcome Weekend is a great way to start your semester at UofL and one of the most exciting events students attend during their time at the university. An essential experience for every new student, Welcome Weekend helps you make the transition from summertime student-to-be to first-time UofL student.

What Happens at Welcome Weekend?

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 our Signature Events including Friday's unit open houses and the CAPS Ceremony and Presidential Convocation, and Saturday's session with Cultural Center Director Michael Anthony and the SOUL Service Event.  SOUL On-line registration is now available.   Check out the full schedule of events.  Keep checking back for updates.

Parents are invited to participate in many events and will especially enjoy Friday's opportunities to meet faculty, advisors, alumni and President Ramsey.
