New and returning Seawolves were welcomed back to Campus with the annual UAA Campus Kickoff from 2 to 6 p.m. on Aug. 24. The Student Union and Avis Alaska Sports Complex were filled with UAA departments, student groups and community organizations that provided resources to students.

Throughout the afternoon, there were musical performances, games and a selection of food trucks. Students competed in rounds of canoe battleship, and baby goats were on hand to feed and cuddle. Afterward, the Campus Kickoff Concert took place in the Alaska Airlines Center and featured K Camp with Husse.
