Fall Welcome Activities Connect Students to Resources and Support
The fall 2023 semester is already abuzz with excitement as many departments and programs plan to host welcome activities during the first few weeks of the fall semester. The Fall Welcome Celebration will help students learn about programs, resources, and various forms of support. The campus has collectively put together a list of activities and events that foster connections, belonging, and engagement. The events will kick off on Aug. 21 and will run through Sept. 7.
The First-Year Experience Program has also developed a scavenger hunt to help new students navigate the campus. All students are invited to pick up a scavenger hunt form at the Promise Center in Building 100, Room 119 for a chance to win a $50 bookstore gift card. First-year students can also participate through the FYE Canvas shell. A list of events planned are:
