After a long, refreshing winter break, Campus Activities Council welcomes students back to their second home to start 2014 off right with a week’s worth of free food and awesome events! Winter Welcome Week eases the transition back into school mode by providing delicious meals and fun winter activities sponsored by vendors such as, Raising Cane’s and Which Wich, and on campus organizations ranging from the Student Alumni Association and Sooners Helping Sooners.

Each morning hot breakfast is available on the South Oval from 9:00 to 11:00 am, perfect for grabbing a Sonic breakfast burrito and a cup of coffee from Starbucks or Crimson and Whipped Cream on your way to class! Beginning at 11:00am, every day holds a different event. On Monday, come test your balance and strength with sumo wrestling. Lose a match? No problem; fuel up with some Raising Cane’s for lunch and jump back in the ring. If art is more your thing, Tuesday will satisfy your creativity needs with cookie decorating. After cookies, try an array of Which Wich sandwiches; the two make a great pair! Wednesday will fulfill everyone’s favorite childhood memory of sledding; grab a toboggan and work up an appetite for Taco Casa. Love all of the activities that CAC provides? Check out the involvement fair on Thursday while munching on a Jimmy John sandwich. Later in the afternoon, the volunteer fair will be open as well. These are great ways to become a part of the action! Friday brings Welcome Week to an end with Papa John’s pizza and an ice rink in the union courtyard until 9:00 pm.

Luckily, the excitement doesn’t end after lunch. If you can’t get enough of breakfast, Jim Thorpe will have midnight breakfast to satisfy your late night hunger craves and energize you for the snowball fight taking place in the Walker-Adams mall on Tuesday. After a long day of sledding on Wednesday, relax during the movie night with a CAC Film Series sponsored film. Thursday evening comes to a close with night at the Huff; pick your favorite sport!

CAC knows the best way to welcome in 2014 and the Sooner family back from the winter break. Just as the winter break ends, Winter Welcome Week begins!
