WISCONSIN WELCOME

WISCONSIN WELCOME ~ August 31 - September 7

Open House ~ August 31 and September 1, 7 – 10 pm
Games, snacks, crafts, and open jam sessions. Come any time from 7 to 10 pm to take a break from unpacking, make some new friends, and enjoy (or play) some live music!

Cookie Break ~ September 2, 4 – 6 pm
One of our most iconic events and a great way to meet new people. We set up on the patio and give away hundreds — yes, hundreds — of free Insomnia Cookies. Plus, we break out the prize wheel. You might win some candy, a reusable straw, or a crisp high-five.

Welcome Worship ~ September 4, 4:30 pm
Our first worship gathering of the new school year. We start upstairs in the chapel but end downstairs in Lower Hall where we’ll eat a delicious home-cooked meal together. No end time listed because there’s no telling how long you’ll want to hang.

Trivia Night ~ September 5, 7 – 8:30 pm
Come alone or with a group of (up to) five. Either way, we’ll make sure you have a chance to meet some new people, answer some wild questions, and win some sweet prizes. And we guarantee to stump you at least once.

Midweek Morsels ~ September 7, 4 – 6 pm
The kickoff for everyone’s favorite midweek hangout; every Wednesday, 4-6 pm. We serve up some delicious homemade baked goods along with free coffee and tea. The Wii is on, the puzzles and board games are out, and the vibes are immaculate. Whether you come to socialize or study, Midweek Morsels is what you make it.

Grad Coffee Hour Kickoff ~ September 8, 8:30 – 9:30 am
We’ll have free coffee and tea along with Greenbush donuts for you to enjoy; plus, you’ll get to connect with other grad students. It’s a great way to start the day!

Grad Student Happy Hour ~ September 13, 5 – 7 pm
Come enjoy free mocktails and hors d’oeuvres while meeting and mingling with other graduate students at UW-Madison! RSVP requested, though not required.
