Welcome Week is set to take place in the Fall of 2026. More specifically, September 4, 2026, until September 13th, 2026. We might have some light programming, emails, and social media communications beforehand, but you can expect Welcome Week to start strong!
How do I register and get involved with Welcome Week?
Registration is open for incoming students, and you can sign up here.
Applications for returning students as point people, leaders and volunteers can sign up here (coming soon).
