We get it. It’s cold outside and you may just want to go home after class. But studies featured in USA Today and Huffington Post find that involvement in on campus activities makes students happier. 

Welcomefest is an accumulation of Wichita State sponsored activities that are free for students. 

It goes until Saturday and features more than 25 activities. 

WSU and the Student Activities Council are creating and developing new events for students this year.
