Moving to college? Exciting, scary, overwhelming ... all at once! But fear not, we have a jam-packed Welcome Weekend planned to help you unwind and connect with your fellow residents. Unpack, make some new friends and get ready for some fun! 

Thursday, Aug. 15: Movie Night 
Kick off your week with a relaxing Movie Night under the stars! Grab a blanket, some popcorn (or your favorite snacks!) and settle in on the lawn of Stella Russell Hall from 6:30-9 p.m. It's the perfect way to unwind from a day of moving and catch a flick with your roomies. 

Friday, Aug. 16: Dance Party/Karaoke  
Belt out your favorite tunes or show off your moves on the dance floor at Stella Russell Hall from 7-10 p.m. The night starts with karaoke, then transitions into a dance party. Plus, there will be chips, dips, snacks and mocktails to keep you fueled all night long! 

Saturday, Aug. 17: Crafts and Snacks 
Unleash your creativity at the Crafts and Snacks event in the EJW Library from noon to 3 p.m. Make some bracelets, get artistic with painting and coloring or even get a cool henna design. This is a great chance to personalize your space and get to know your fellow residents. (P.S. - Bring your class schedule and we can help you find your classes!) 

Sunday, Aug. 18: Cookout and Games 
End your week with a bang at the Cookout and Games extravaganza! Get ready for some epic water balloon fights, cool off with some delicious ice cream or snow cones and enjoy a classic cookout on the lawn of Stella Russell Hall from 5-8 p.m. It's the perfect way to celebrate the end of a busy week and make some lasting memories with your new hallmates! 

Don't miss out on all the fun! These events are open to all Texas Wesleyan residents, so come out and join the party! The weather’s been crazy this summer and things may shift, so be sure to check Ram Space for the latest information.
