Campus Kickoff welcomes all ×ö°®É«ÇéƬ students, staff and faculty to celebrate the beginning of the academic year. It’s an excellent opportunity for everyone across the ×ö°®É«ÇéƬ campus to connect with their community. Throughout the past 20 years, Campus Kickoff has grown into one of ×ö°®É«ÇéƬ's most beloved campus traditions. To celebrate the 20th anniversary, we are excited to host a full day of festivities on Saturday, August 26 from 1 - 10 p.m.

After Party

The fun continues in the Student Union, Avis Alaska Sports Complex, Rasmuson Hall, and the Alaska Airlines Center from 4 - 10 p.m. with fun creative activities, games, a movie, and a concert to culminate the event! Get excited to join us for #CKO23, and see the schedule for more details!
