Welcome Weekend kicks off the start of the academic year - Newing style. Our community welcomes both returning and new students with activities and giveaways in the halls and on the Co-Rec field. These events cannot be missed, as it is a time to reconnect with old friends, meet new students and staff living in the Newing community, and kick the year off with great Newing pride. 

Autumn Bowl occurs during Family Weekend and is one of Newing's newest traditions. During Autumn Bowl, the Co-Rec field and surrounding sidewalks are filled with booths where students and their families can play games, make crafts, and get free food and giveaways. It is a great time for students, family, and friends to socialize and take part in all of the Autumn Bowl festivities. 

Are you ready for some football or volleyball? Newing's Co-Rec is a two-month long tournament between the four buildings of Newing ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ. Come down for some competitive, but friendly fun. Enjoy yourself, whether you're playing or watching! Opportunities are available for referring as well. 

This week-long event is Newing's oldest tradition. It is held each year during a week in the spring semester and marks the passing of winter and the advent of spring. It includes a variety of sports competitions, trivia challenges, tug-of-war, cook-offs, and much more. Each hall in Newing competes against every other building in the community for the prizes plaque and title of Newing Navy Champions.

At this event, students from Newing gather together for a Thanksgiving dinner that includes food from many different cultures. During the meal, several cultural groups showcase their talents through performances on stage. Additionally, canned and boxed food is collected during the event to be donated to a local food pantry. The Not Your Typical Thanksgiving event brings students together to celebrate the richness of the many wonderful cultures found in Newing College!

Every spring semester, Newing's Residential Life staff hosts a large-scale event in collaboration with Newing College Council and Area Hall Governments to add some cheer during the doldrums of winter. This Carnival often has a theme, like Mardi Gras, prizes, food, games, music, and much more!

Every year for Homecoming Weekend, Newing hosts several events where past Newing residents and alumni join current residents to play Co-Rec football and volleyball, mingle over lunch, and tell stories from their time in Newing. This is always a fun time to meet new people who know what it is like to live here and network with alumni working all over the country and world!
