Welcome Weekend 2017

This past weekend, the University of Scranton welcomed the Class of 2021 into the Royals family. The University of Scranton welcomed more than 1,200 incoming undergraduate, graduate and transfer students this weekend with a number of activities, including the New Student Convocation, Mass, the traditional class photo, residence halls, commuter meetings, and an alumni legacy reception.

More than 40 first-year students took part in the FIRST (Freshmen Involved in Reflective Service  Together) service program, which is hosted by the Campus Ministries’ Center for Service and Social Justice. And, current University of Scranton students also started their school year off with service by volunteering at the Back to School Bonanza, which took place on Sunday at the Marketplace at Steamtown.

And, a big Royal welcome to all of the students of the University of Scranton. Have a wonderful year!
