Topperfest

This year’s Topperfest is two-week extravaganza of events designed to welcome students to West Liberty University and get them acclimated to campus through both informative and entertaining events. This year’s theme is “Topper Pride” with events and activities planned to encourage school spirit.  These events give new students the chance to interact with each other and jump-start the friendships that will last a lifetime.  Topperfest will begin with the President’s Picnic from 11-2:30pm on Friday, August 19th located at the President’s House.

Listed below are some frequently asked questions about Topperfest.  If you have further questions, please contact the Office of Housing & Student Life at (304) 336-8345 or residencelife@westliberty.edu.  For a detailed description of Topperfest events, please see the information listed below.  A schedule of events can be found in the activities calendar, or download the Topper Fest 2016 Schedule.

 

Q: What if I do not attend Topperfest?

A: WLU strongly encourages everyone to attend Topperfest.  Free gifts, free food, prizes, and most importantly you are granted to chance to meet the people you will be in close contact with for the next four years.  These events are designed to not only promote fun and excitement but to also promote lasting relationships between students, faculty, and staff.

 

Q: Who can attend Topperfest?

A: All new students are welcome and encouraged to attend as many Topperfest events as possible.  This includes transfer students, first year students, residential and commuter students!

 

Q: With all this excitement going on, when will I be able to figure out where my classes are?

A:  Resident Assistants (RAs) wearing staff shirts will be available to give campus tours.  Bring your class schedule and an RA will walk you to each of your class rooms to help get you ready for your first day of class.  If you are not a residential student, please come to the Office of Housing & Student Life in Rogers Hall and staff will arrange an RA to give you a tour of your classes.

 

 

Q: I know that I already receive basic cable, but what if I want Premium Channels as well?

A: You can visit one of the various Comcast tables (see schedule for location) and speak with a Comcast representative.

 

Q: What events should I look forward to?

New Student Assembly  – At the assembly, you will be granted the ability to meet and greet fellow students but you will also hear from members of the Enrollment and Student Services Division who will welcome you to campus, enlighten you on campus policies, and give you a general idea of the role they will play during your time at West Liberty.

Topper Wars – Tradition stands tall in this relay of epic proportions where students will join together in three different teams to battle in a variety of events, including athletic and other types of challenges.  We welcome commuters and residential students to this event, so come join us and get a free t-shirt!

Blast from the Past Night: Bonfire and Movie on the Quad – Heat up by the fire and cool down bobbing for apples at this carnival-style event featuring a movie that will remind you of the drive in, cornhole, tie-dying shirts, cotton candy, and many other awesome attractions. *This event is sponsored by the Tobacco and Alcohol Free Coalition*

Organizational Fair in College Union – You will have the chance to meet and greet some of West Liberty’s finest clubs and organizations.  Join others that share your secret talents and interests and find the club that is right for you.

And many more activities throughout the campus provided through Greek Life, Student Government Association, Athletics, and Housing & Student Life!
