At the beginning of each academic year, new undergraduate students, along with the Students Union and faculty members, travel to Serra da Estrela for the "Freshman Weekend".
This year the "Freshman Weekend" is held on September 4th, 5th and 6th.
The "Freshman Weekend" is a CATÓLICA-LISBON tradition that has been going on now for 14 years and itconsists of different induction activities promoted by CATÓLICA-LISBON in the beginning of the academic year for its new undergraduate students.
During three days, new undergraduate students from CATÓLICA-LISBON have the opportunity to do outdoor activities, adventure walks along the mountain trails and, at the same time, to interact with other students. This interaction among students helps them develop a sense of team spirit and camaraderie.
