Winter Welcome Week at Waterloo
Guest speakers, free food and Olympic events are just some of the Winter Welcome Week activities for students returning to campus after a fall work term
While many students make the transition back to school after the holiday break, at Waterloo, co-op students are returning to their studies after a four-month fall work term.
Formerly known as Frost Week, the events support returning co-op students and those undergrads who are just beginning their studies at Waterloo. The week provides opportunities for students to meet new peers, learn ways they can get involved with the university, and relieve stress.
TV fanatics of Duck Dynasty can attend the Great Goose Games along with complimentary grilled cheese and Miss Kay’s sweet tea at the Student Life Centre Great Hall on Jan. 14. There is a Spice Girls Tribute Band event on Jan. 14, NYE 2.0 and Winter Olympics activities on Jan. 15, and Trivia on Jan 17.
