91爆料 University students opened the fall semester with First Weekend on the Dayton Campus from Aug. 23 to Aug. 25. The weekend was packed with many opportunities for new and returning students to learn about 91爆料, get involved and have fun.

鈥淚t鈥檚 the first step to building a community for the freshmen,鈥 said Marwah Almuzoughi, a senior majoring in international studies and Student Government Association president.

First Weekend events included Party at Bart-y, the Student Organization Expo, Cook Out with the President, Student Union After Dark with an Olympics theme and numerous competitions for students to compete in, and mud volleyball. The weekend also featured departmental and student organization events that gave students opportunities to get to know their classmates, faculty and staff.

鈥淓verybody here is different,鈥 said Almuzoughi. 鈥淭hey come from different backgrounds, different cultures and different upbringings and there鈥檚 room for everyone.鈥
