Spikeball & Watermelon 🍉

📅 Sunday, August 24 | 🕑 2:00–4:00 p.m. | 📍Newman House (St. Marie Street, across from the UMD Library lot)

Classes are almost here, and if you’re feeling that nervous energy kicking in, we’ve got a better option than scrolling your phone in your dorm room. At 2 p.m., head over to the Newman House for Spikeball & Watermelon—aka your new favorite way to wrap up Welcome Weekend.

Never played Spikeball? You’ll pick it up in minutes. Already a pro? Show us what you’ve got. It’s fast, fun, a little competitive, and totally Duluth-approved. Plus, we’re serving up juicy slices of watermelon to keep the summer vibes going just a little longer. Come hang, soak up the sun, and reconnect with some of the friends you met earlier in the week. Let’s make this last afternoon of Welcome Weekend one to remember. ☀️🍉👟


We want to give you sneak peek at what’s coming this school year, but some times and locations might still shift a little as we lock things in.  We’ll keep this page updated, so check back for final details.
