Freshmen to Seniors, there are many things to participate in this week on campus. With it being Welcome Week there are opportunities for prizes, free food and meeting new people. 

Meet the Mavily on Monday and the TNL Snow Cone gathered the students on campus. But, if you missed the first day of festivities don’t fret for there are many more opportunities. 

Tuesday let’s get our laughs on with PAC’s Welcome Week Comedian. This will take place at 5 p.m. in the University Center Ballroom. Derek Hughes is the comedian who you may have seen on America’s Got Talent. He is a Stand up Magician and was a finalist on the 2015 America’s Got Talent. Stressed or anxious after the first two days of class? Take a chance to laugh it off.
