Wildcat Welcome staff members painted the Rock Monday night with a greeting for new students. The message coincided with Tuesday’s move-in activities and the beginning of Wildcat Welcome week. The staff of peer coordinators, peer advisers and members of a board of directors work to acclimate incoming students to their new homes during their first days at Northwestern. Welcome events include information sessions, comedy and music performances and a trip to Six Flags Great America.
