Southwestern University’s newest Pirates celebrated the beginning of their collegiate careers with a flurry of fun activities during Welcome Week. The party started with a pep rally and Pirate Training, where new students built community through games and challenges. Throughout the week, students explored their new Central Texas home through Pirate Adventures, taking in all the food, entertainment, and social activities that Austin and the surrounding area has to offer. Returning students joined in the fun at the Pirate Parrrty, capping off Welcome Week with live music and great food.
