For a weeklong period, from September 3rd to September 10th, the King's Students' Union and the University of King's College welcomes 400 new first year students and orients them to a new city, a new lifestyle, and a new school! Through events, from wild neon dance parties to hip hop shows, from frank talks about sex to giving back to the Halifax community at large, King's Frosh Week 2011 guarantees that it will follow in a rich tradition of being a week to remember.

For further questions, email frosh week coordinators Dan Brown, Kait Wakefield, and Noah White at kingsfroshweek@ksu.ca!  You can also follow King's Frosh Week on Twitter at KingsFroshWeek, as well as join the University of King's Collge Class of 2015 Facebook group.
