Weeks of Welcome

Weeks of Welcome (WOW) is the official start of a new semester. It's a transitional time when new students get to know the campus and prepare for their academic endeavors.

The Department of Student Life organizes an exciting slate of events during this time, which includes many different ways to get involved with student organizations, celebrate school spirit by cheering on our athletic teams, and connect to the campus community.
