To kick off the first week of the spring semester, UTRGV hosts a variety of events during the sister week of Best Week Ever–WOW or Week of Welcome. This year, due to inclement weather, several WOW activities were postponed. The last Week of Welcome event will be Casino Night from 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 7 in PlainsCapital Bank El Gran Salón on the Brownsville campus.

After being postponed due to inclement weather, the Campfire Bash hosted by the Student Union took place last Tuesday on the Student Union lawn in Brownsville. Scores of students made their own s’mores. Robert Benavidez Jr./The Rider
