IUPD


Showing the Way

Welcome Week events

These activities might seem like “forced fun,” but Welcome Week is a great opportunity to learn your way around campus and experience all IU has to offer. Take advantage of the free food, tours and advice while you can. If you don’t, by the end of your first week you’ll wish you had. (And hey, it’s better than just sitting in your room.)
