Week of Welcome
Ethic of Care Series
Take care of yourself; Take care of each other; Take care of this place.
This is a series of programs, events, and tabling for incoming students during the first 10 days or so of the Fall Semester. These activities are designed to supplement Orientation and offer students a chance to connect with each other, learn about resources and explore SF.
