Celebrate the new academic year at the annual President’s Picnic from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 23, in the Sid Richardson gym. All students, faculty and staff are invited and admission is free. Free t-shirts will be available for students while supplies last.

“We always enjoy welcoming our new and returning students and having the chance to bring everyone together as a Wesleyan family,” President Frederick G. Slabach said. “There are so many ways for our students to get involved, and we encourage them to do that. It really enhances their college experience.”

More than 40 vendors and student organizations will be featured at the event. The President’s Picnic will feature a picnic-style barbecue buffet and exciting musical entertainment, including the fantastic Ram Band Drumline. Our very own Ram mascots will be on hand for photos and fun.
