A Warm Welcome to Campus

The start of a new academic year is full of firsts, and our traditional residential students in St. Paul kicked off the year with Orientation Weekend filled with community, fun, and plenty of Golden Bear spirit.

From ice cream and prayer on move-in day to volunteering with Feed My Starving Children, students spent the first several days getting to know their new community and the Twin Cities. They gathered for a donut social, explored St. Paul, enjoyed a day at the beach, joined a St. Paul stroll and bingo, and took part in yoga, a Labor Day party, and a silent disco.

Classes officially began on September 8, but the memories started before the first day of classes. Take a look at a few highlights from the first week on campus!
