Weeks of Welcome events offer ways to get involved in campus life
By Jenna Jauregui: Digital Media Manager
If you haven’t heard, CSUSM is celebrating its 20-year anniversary this school year! Current students are part of California history and have the opportunity to help shape the campus dynamics and student life while the university heads into its third decade of growth. One way to get involved is by attending Weeks of Welcome events, which began August 30 and will continue through September 10. The events showcase the different organizations and campus offerings and are a fabulous way to have fun, meet your peers and become an active member of CSUSM’s diverse community.
