Welcome Back Fest Coachella Vibes Fall 2025

Tue, September 16, 2025

We welcomed new and returning Saints to the Fall semester last Friday with a Coachella-themed carnival and concert. Students enjoyed an afternoon of games, caricatures, and turns on the "Saddle Up" ride, all for free. The evening featured country artist Melissa Megan, TikTok star Nicolina, and headliner Elijah Woods.
