98, the festival is marked by a full schedule of headline events and other activities taking place all over campus.
All events are alcohol-free.
There's a serious purpose behind the fun. If we expect our newest members to embrace the values of The University of Iowa and, in turn, become responsible, respectful, and contributing members of our community, then the process of instilling commitment begins with words and actions on the part of current students, faculty, staff, and administrators. For that reason, several events have been designed specifically to introduce students to the privileges, rights, and responsibilities associated with community membership. Students who choose to attend a community service fair on Monday, August 31, will learn how to give back to the community through various volunteer opportunities. Many other activities are scheduled during the two-week period that are not part of Weeks of Welcome.
