Having fun? I’d hope so, because this is one expensive party. The pool of money allocated to Welcome Week this year is about half a million bucks. Events, swag, bands, food and all the other hoopla adds up quick. And whether you’re involved in the Week or not, you’re invested. A mandatory fee of $110 […]
