Social Life

During a typical year, many social events designed to include the entire student body are planned and carried out each year by the students through both their elected representatives (SGA) and through the offices of Student Activities and Student Life. Starting in the fall, first- year students are greeted with the University's annual Welcome Week, an assortment of events and programs instrumental in helping new students adjust to college life. Fall semester events include the Clubs and Organizations Activities Fair, Flock the Block, Shakespeare on the Green, Fall Festival, and Boo-Out. Soccer and volleyball teams kick off the intercollegiate sports activities for the fall season, and November marks the beginning of basketball season for both men and women. The fall semester ends with a whirlwind of holiday gatherings, a late-night exam breakfast, and Finals Frenzy. Continuing in the spring semester, students are invited to participate in weekly activities and programs, including service and civic engagement events. March marks the beginning of the spring sports season with baseball, softball, tennis, and golf schedules in progress simultaneously. The month of April brings choir concerts, Spring Fling, banquets, cookouts, and other activities as the end of the school year approaches. Commencement exercises mark the official end of the academic year. Student Life will adjust activities and events for safety and prevention of COVID-19, and all updates will be communicated via the UTS App.
