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.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
