Welcome Weekend

START OFF RIGHT

Welcome Weekend

August 23–25, 2024

From the moment you drive onto campus, you’ll know you’re in the best place to call home! Students will greet you, and someone will personally lead you right to your residence hall, where your new friends (and even some professors) help you carry your things in.

You’ll have time to settle in, attend orientation and get to know campus before your first day of classes on Monday.

We’re looking forward to seeing you soon!

*Fall sport student-athletes, you can plan to move in for pre-season on Friday, August 16, 2024! See more below!
