Welcome Back Week

By Erika Westbrook
Many new and returning students at West Virginia University at Parkersburg took part in Welcome Back Week, sponsored by Student Activities and Student Government.

The events began Aug. 22, with two days of giveaways. Items such as drinking glasses, colorful highlighters, discount cards, valuable coupons and personal hygiene samples were given to students in the hallway next to the Multipurpose Room and other areas of the campus. Many of the items were donated by consumers hoping to encourage students to purchase their products.

Activities continued on Aug. 25; students were treated to ice cream sundaes from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. in the courtyard. Music played through loudspeakers provided entertainment.

Jackson County Center students were also given the chance to participate in Welcome Back Week activities Aug. 30 – 31.

On Monday Sept. 6, Student Activities also held Movie Pass Sale, in which students could purchase matinee tickets at discount prices.
