Rogers State University’s Office of Student Affairs will host a series of fun and informative events next week to welcome new and transfer students to the Hill.
Winter Welcome Week will take place Tuesday, Jan. 21, through Friday, Jan. 24, featuring several activities and workshops for students new to the Claremore campus.
According to Student Activities Coordinator Meg Thompson, this will be RSU’s first year hosting Winter Welcome Week.
“Normally, we host a welcome week in the fall to welcome all of our students back onto the Hill, yet when it comes time to start our spring semester, we had nothing to welcome our transfer and new students,” she said. “We wanted to create a Winter Welcome Week to help make campus a little bit friendlier to those students who are starting fresh with us this semester, as well as welcome back our students from winter break.”
The following events will take place during Winter Welcome Week.
Welcome Back 101 will take place Tuesday, Jan. 21, where students ask Student Affairs employees all of their college questions. The event will be held at 3 p.m. in conference room A of the Dr. Carolyn Taylor Center and is a great opportunity for new students to come and have all their college questions answered. Cotton candy will be provided.
On Wednesday, Jan. 22, students can come and blow off some steam on the inflatables in an indoor winter wonderland, complete with an obstacle course. This event will be held from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Dr. Carolyn Taylor Center Ballroom B.
Thursday, Jan. 23, students are invited to cozy up to the hot chocolate bar from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the rotunda of the Dr. Carolyn Taylor Center. Students can come in and take a break from the cold temperatures while warming up with complimentary hot chocolate.
On Friday, Jan. 24, Student Affairs will host a movie night at 6 p.m. in the Will Rogers Auditorium, featuring the film “Pitch Perfect.” An interactive Bingo game will take place throughout the movie. Movie snacks are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
