Weeks of Welcome
The first two weeks of each semester are called “Weeks of Welcome” (WoW). Each campus coordinates a variety of social activities and educational programs aimed at easing the transition to college-level work.
WoW events are a great way to meet other students, interact with faculty and staff, and get better acquainted with resources, opportunities, and expectations. We have also focused these events on incorporating the Four Pillars or Success.
