Welcome Week
Welcome (or welcome back!) to #MyRDP!
Welcome Week is packed with everything you need to start the semester right: think fun activities, creative crafts, and info fairs to get you in the know. Plus, did we mention the free food?
Offered in partnership with the Students' Association of RDP (SARDP), there’s something for everyone, whether you're meeting new friends, reconnecting with old ones, or just looking for some fun between classes.
Note: Most activities are drop-in style, but some may require advance registration.
