And don't forget about Convocation. It's required for all incoming students, and kicks off with a procession across campus and through Cudahy Library's ceremonial green doors. (You'll walk through them again right before your graduation.) Then you and your class will continue on to Gentile Arena for a ceremony with Loyola faculty and the author of your First-Year Text.
Ater Welcome Week, comes a lot more opportunities. Plan a weekend getaway at our own ecological retreat for the 罗耀拉360 experience. Engage new people in your UNIV courses. Maybe even go to a volleyball game?
