Events & Traditions

You are joining our campus at a very exciting time!  In addition to celebrating our 40th anniversary as a university, we have just opened three new buildings:  The Student Union, The Bank of Kentucky Center, and Callahan Residence Hall.  

You have an entire fourteen days of exciting WELCOME WEEK events to introduce you to campus life.  Events and activities will range in variety from comedians and outdoor movie showings to a student job fair, a student organization rally, and lots of FREE food. These events are open to all students.  Mark your calendar:

Freshfusion is an annual tradition for all first-year students to conclude the activities and events of Welcome Week.  During this event we gather as many new students as we can into Regents Hall for an exciting welcome from our President, Dr. James Votruba.  This year we are also proud to have Bill Cordes join us.  Bill is America’s top transition strategist for college students. After the pep rally in Regents, you will join a hundred or more student organizations on the plaza and lake area for fun games, prizes, and more FREE food! 

We hope you join us for all of the exciting programs!
