Events on Campus

Welcome Week

Welcome to Campus!

Welcome Week kicks off the school year with Orientation & Engagement, in collaboration with other campus partners, to celebrate the first week back on campus. With programming every day, each event is free or low cost to all Viterbo students. It's a chance to meet new people, explore the campus community, and get to know La Crosse. 

For a full list of events, check out the Welcome Week page!

Welcome Back Bash

Sponsored by Orientation and Engagement, the Welcome Back Bash brings together new and returning students to connect and engage with over 100 local businesses, volunteer opportunities, and on-campus resources. Students can connect with community members and learn about student involvement and engagement opportunities. Past participating groups have included local restaurants, salons, libraries, downtown businesses, non-profit organizations, Viterbo campus departments, and student organizations.
