When Rice University welcomes New Students through Lovett Hall's magnificent archway this summer, it will also deliver over a hundred of these students into the arms of Lovett College. As the opening act to life at the place we call home, DemO-Week aims to facilitate the exploration of new academic, extracurricular, and social genres while providing a safe space for new Lovetteers to compose their own songs. Finding your tune is a multistep process, so there may be many revisions as you work towards your final tape. DemO-Week and the broader Lovett community will strive to provide New Students with the resources they need to finally discover themselves. We are incredibly excited to integrate our matriculants into the Lovett community, where they will enhance our discography of existing traditions and make new ones. We recognize that each New Student has their own perspective to add to the Lovett melody, and we hope that they will feel encouraged to share their unique cultures and backgrounds. That being said, everything can't always be in perfect harmony, but it is our unique sounds that create the diverse symphony we hear booming from the Toaster. Producing their amazing album of accomplishments may take Lovett's new generation on tour all over campus, Houston, or even the world, but DemO-Week is just Track 1 to what our New Students will do, and Lovett will always be their biggest fan.

EOL RRF and all that jazz.
