What is Welcome Weekend?
Welcome Weekend is designed to prepare and inspire all students to actively engage with the University's distinctive Catholic, Holy Cross vision of education in both mind and heart. Programming during this weekend aims to welcome students to the campus resources that will be most important in their first weeks and months while also providing meaningful opportunities for reflection and connection. At Notre Dame, we believe education takes place in the context of community with others. This is where your journey begins!
When is Welcome Weekend?
Welcome Weekend takes place during the days immediately preceding the start of classes and is required of all new students. These days consist of moving into your new residence, meeting your hall staff and fellow hallmates, connecting with faculty and staff from all corners of campus, accessing academic, spiritual, and wellness resources, and acknowledging this significant time of transition for you and your family.
