Welcome Weekend is full of firsts. Somewhere between a pickup game, a Broadview Arena tour, and a REC program, campus may start to feel a little more familiar.
Broadview Arena, North Campus
Programming runs from Friday, August 21st, through Sunday, August 23rd, 2026. Some moments get competitive, while others move at an easier pace, leaving room for conversations that might not have happened otherwise.
We can't wait to see you all on campus!

New spaces rarely stay quiet for long.
Saturday is your first chance to settle into the new REC Lounge. You might start with a round of NBA JAM, test your foosball skills, or choose a board game that probably was not meant to become that competitive.
You may find a comfortable seat instead. Browse REC Reads, work on a puzzle, or take a quiet break between Welcome Weekend plans.
By the time you leave, you will know one more place on campus where you can feel at home.
Location: The Living Room is located in the REC Lounge on the second floor of Broadview Arena. The easiest way to access the space is through Club Fitness (Rooms 144-149) using the stairs or elevator.
