Welcome Week activities run through next week.

Thousands of students are moving in this week, as Indiana University kicks off its fall semester.

Incoming Freshman Ava Mafucci is from Connecticut and came to IU because of its culture and programs.

“I really wanted to have a fun experience, but I also wanted a good business program, and IU kind of has everything for that, so it's the perfect fit,” said Mafucci.

Welcome Week activities run through next week. New students can take tours of campus buildings and centers, see live music, do outdoor activities, go to job fairs, and participate in giveaways. A list of all scheduled activities is available online.

Joanie Dugan is a regional host of All Things Considered. She graduated from IU with degrees in both English and Media. She is passionate about storytelling, public media, and puzzles.
