Welcome Week 2009 is in full-swing! There are lots of events to check out, and all are certain to entertain! For weeks now, the Welcome Week Planning Committee has been meeting to plan the best events, comedians, and food for UNH students! Best part? It’s open to all students, and it’s totally free!
These past few weeks have been beyond hectic for Director of Student Activities Greg “Grego” Overend and Assistant Director of Student Activities Lisa Saverese. Along with representatives from Residential Life, Athletics, the Dean of Students’ Office, Student Activities, and even The Charger Bulletin, both students and administration have worked incredibly hard to make this Welcome Week the best one yet. Keep reading to find out just a few key events, or check out a fuller calendar of events on page 2.
If you’re a new student, from Wednesday through Friday be sure to stop anyone wearing a yellow All Day Q&A t-shirt! These are upperclassmen leaders who are all around campus to help you find where to go to and how to get around!
On Wednesday, if you find a golden ticket in The Charger Bulletin, then you have a chance to win $50 or $100! Make your own aquarium in the Bixler/Botwinik Quad from 12-4pm, and also enjoy a taste of West Haven while you’re at it!
