Weeks of Welcome

Weeks of Welcome

Weeks of Welcome is the official start of a new academic year. It is a transitional time when students become familiarized with the campus community and prepare for their academic endeavors.

Active and positive participation in Weeks of Welcome is one of the best way to start getting the most out of the academic year and the Geneseo experience. The activities offered aid in increasing personal connections with other students, faculty and staff and in promoting a sense of belonging.
