Welcome Week 2024 is August 19-22!
Welcome Week is the first week of the fall semester at Mitchell. New and returning students participate in activities that showcase the many ways to get involved in campus life, and provide free activities. More than 95% of new students participate in Welcome Week events—it is considered a “must” for students who want to know Mitchell. Events include involvement expos for students to talk with representatives from student clubs and organizations, interactive activities, entertainment, college tips and special events for students to enjoy and begin making Mitchell their new home.
