Even with classes starting on Wednesday, Aug. 20, Fall Welcome events continue. Check
out the Fall Welcome webpage for the full schedule.
Saint Louis University's Fall Welcome is full of campus traditions to mark the arrival
of new and returning SLU Billikens. Fall welcome kicked off with move-in on Friday, Aug. 15. Following that, the new Billikens took part in Convocation — an event designed to be one of the first opportunities for the new class of Billikens to develop
a sense of cohesion and identity. Members of the SLU community shared what being a
Billiken has meant to them and what they hope it will mean for the newest Billikens.
Following Convocation, a number of events were planned around campus including spirit
contests, a Billiken soccer game, and a Party on Grand.
The new students also spent the week getting acclimated with campus and taking part
in orientation.
