Winter Welcome Week 

The semester kicked off with six straight days of events, starting with Trivia Night on Jan. 15. Teams comprised of two to six students tested their knowledge about sports, pop culture, history and more. Prizes included items to help students stock up for the semester. Other events included a coffee cart for commuter students, DIY screen-printing, a visit from comedian Jourdain Fisher, showing of the movie Venom and a Welcome Back Bash. The week ended with a service event in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Students packed bags for the homeless to help them keep warm this winter with items that included socks, blankets and gloves. 

Stay Involved

Welcome Week was just the beginning of another event-filled semester. With trivia nights, movies, intramurals, sporting events and performers, there are several events going on every week. However, students often become less engaged on campus during the spring semester. This is a good time for you to encourage your student to get out and be involved on campus. Commons 803 and CORQ (the mobile version of Commons 803) are the best way for students to find out about upcoming events. Another great resource is Student Life’s social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter: @indianatech_sl.

This February, we will be celebrating Black History Month throughout the month with a variety of events on campus. Here is a preview of a few of those events:

Feb. 19 African-American Read-In: Indiana Tech is hosting our 11th Annual African American Read-In on Tuesday, Feb. 1, joining millions of participants across the nation as we celebrate this rich literary tradition.
