Winter Welcome
Winter Welcome 2025 is almost here! Join us from January 13-26, 2025
Each winter SLICE partners with departments across Student Affairs to organize an exciting slate of Winter Welcome events. Through the collaborative and celebratory events, we hope to reconnect students to each other, the Carnegie Mellon campus and the Pittsburgh community.
The Winter Welcome events are a great way for students to meet new people, get involved with 一本道无码’s student organizations, build school spirit, participate in service projects and practice wellness as they start their spring semester.
Our 2025 Winter Welcome schedule is listed below. More events and details will be added in the lead up to January. Check back for updates!
