Welcome back to King's!

A hearty welcome to all who are new to King's and to our returning students! We hope first year students are settling in and starting to get the hang of things at King's. Check out our photo album of Move In Day and Orientation Week.

The first full week of classes is upon us, which means it's time to get familiar with the Cardinal Carter Library. Watch this video for some helpful tips!

This is the first issue of our weekly student e-newsletter, designed to keep you connected with all the happenings on campus! Have an event at King's? Doing something extraordinary in the community? Let us know at [email protected] or pop by Wemple 143A. Submissions are due Wednesday at noon.

Sincerely,

King's Communications Team
