Incoming freshmen will begin moving into the residence halls at Southwestern College on Sunday, Aug. 9, as Fall Frenzy kicks off the 2015-2016 school year. 

Fall Frenzy introduces new and returning students to the many aspects of Southwestern College.  

The first students on campus will be the freshman.  Following a 3:15 p.m. Farewell Worship Sunday for students and parents, the newly-arrived freshmen will head to Builder Camp at Sky Ranch Cave Springs in Quapaw, Okla.  

Transfer and returning students will move in on Wednesday, Aug. 12.

Freshmen Work Day will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 12.  Since 1992, Southwestern College freshmen, along with Leadership Southwestern students, faculty, and staff, have spent one of their first days as Moundbuilders out in the city of Winfield.  The goal is to promote feelings of community among incoming students as well as a sense of belonging to the college and the city of Winfield.  Freshmen Work Day also strives to make a difference by establishing new relationships between the college and the community by assisting homeowners with indoor and outdoor home projects that the owners would otherwise not be able to complete.

On Thursday, Aug. 13, at 7 p.m., Winfield Main Street Revitalization will partner with Southwestern College for the third annual Purple Pride event which will take place in the parking lot of 300 E. Ninth Street in Winfield.  Local businesses are invited to set up booths to promote their businesses to the SC students.  Local restaurants are also invited to serve food samples.  

The remaining Fall Frenzy schedule includes: 
•    Sunday, Aug. 16, Welcome Back worship in Messenger Recital Hall from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sunday Sundaes from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Java Jinx.
