About Us

The Welcome Weekend Committee aims to change student culture on campus by welcoming all students back to Cornell University at the start of the Fall and Spring semester, and after major breaks including but not limited to Fall Break and Spring Break. A critical way to facilitate a change in student culture is to have the initiative come from students, be enacted by students, and be attractive enough that all students will be interested in participating. The Welcome Weekend Committee offers a safe and exciting alternative to the Collegetown block parties that currently attract thousands of students. The Welcome Weekend Committee supports and recognizes the creativity of the student community through our biannual Clubfests, TGIFs, and collaborations with other student organizations.
