2008 WOLFPACK WELCOME ORIENTATION
On Wednesday, August 20, the entire Class of 2012 will assemble on campus for Wolfpack Welcome! This is different from Loyola Lagniappe because you will learn in-depth information about the campus and its resources PLUS you will get to meet your Krewe Leader and all the members of your Krewe (which you will be assigned to in May). You will meet administrators, faculty, classmates, and current students. This program also includes planned activities in the evenings that will help you meet people and learn about Loyola and the New Orleans community.
Make sure to check your Wolfpack Welcome guide to stay up-to-date on all the events! You will receive your guide when you check in on Wednesday, August 20.
