Staying Spiritually Centered When the World Is Falling Apart - "Words and Silence"

Each week this semester, the University Chaplaincy is hosting a 30-minute-or-less space for students, faculty, and staff to explore a wide range of ways to stay "spiritually centered" (whatever that means) in times of personal or social challenge. Each event's facilitator will explain the practice, invite those there to try it out, and send folks home with something they can try on their own terms.

Identity-Based Welcome: LGBTQIA+ Welcome

The annual LGBTQIA+ Welcome is an opportunity for incoming students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans or non-binary, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual, agender, or as generally within the queer umbrella to meet and be welcomed by returning students, faculty, and staff who share these identities. Light refreshments will be served. We acknowledge the diversity of experiences and identities within this large umbrella while also recognizing the power of building relationships within and across identities.

Identity-Based Welcome: Loggers of Color Welcome

The annual Students of Color Welcome is an opportunity for Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latino/Hispanic, bi- and multiracial students and those who identify as people of color to gather and welcome incoming students with these shared identities to campus. Light refreshments will be served. We acknowledge the diversity of experiences and identities within this large group while also recognizing the power of building relationships within and across identities, particularly at a predominantly white institution.

Welcome Walk

The Welcome Walk is a tradition that began after the completion of the Commencement Walk. It's a chance for the campus community to welcome new students and their families. The walk takes place at the end of Convocation, around 5 p.m. on Move-In Day, Friday, Aug. 23. Everyone is invited to make welcome signs, wear their Logger gear, and line up along the walk near Peyton Field. Families will exit Memorial Stadium and pass through our Welcome Walk on their way to the Welcome Festival on Wheelock Plaza. We hope you are able to join us for this event.
