Limestone LAUNCH Fall 23
LAUNCH is the welcome party for all new Saints. LAUNCH week immediately follows new student move-in. During LAUNCH, students will be split into groups and attend a variety of short courses that will help them meet other new students, and become more comfortable with the campus, Limestone culture, and student success. The week is filled with games, activities, ice breakers, and all of the information a new student needs to feel welcomed and at home at Limestone University. LAUNCH is fully led by our upperclassmen LAUNCH Leaders.
