2025 Welcome Week in Photos

Estimated Reading Time:

Welcome Week festivities were held last week, as new members of the Orange community had the chance to explore all Syracuse has to offer.

From moving in to their residence halls to swaying to the alma mater for the first time during New Student Convocation to having an Orange Blast on the Quad and heading downtown for Citrus in the City, we’ve rounded up some of the best photos from events held across the campus. Take a peek—there might be someone you know!
