With instruction commencing today, we look back on Welcome Week, which began last Friday with move-in weekend, a three-day affair that brought more than 10,000 students to campus. The fall quarter preamble continued this week with a series of events and open houses to help students familiarize themselves with the campus and its resources. Monday was headlined by the Anteater Involvement Fair. And Tuesday featured the New Student Convocation in the Bren Events Center, where Chancellor Howard Gillman delivered an inspirational greeting to incoming Anteaters.
