Youngstown State University has collaborated with Student Activities, Housing and Residence Life and Campus Recreation and Student Programming to provide a full week of events and activities to welcome all incoming freshmen and new and current students. Beginning Monday, the Center for Student Progress, which appoints mentors for freshmen and new students and is located below the YSU Bookstore, is hosting a Drop-In Day Open House.

With fall underway, Youngstown State University will be marching in a new direction. Leading that new direction is new Marching Pride director Donn Linn, who said the upcoming season will be "both interesting and challenging."

With big show ideas planned, Youngstown State University's Marching Pride has intentions on creating an exciting musical experience to complement the football season. Donn Linn, the new director of the YSU Marching Pride, said he plans to "bring a traditional college show," but with more of a "Big Ten-style" experience.

As students return to Youngstown State University this week, so will food, foam and fun. This year's traditional Foam and Dance Party will take place Tuesday from 7 to 10 p.m. in the Rec-5 area. The party is part of the Welcome Week festivities sponsored by Campus Recreation and Student Programming.
