Weekend of Welcome (WOW) takes place the weekend prior to the start of classes. Sessions are a continuation of your orientation experience. You will have the opportunity to meet with faculty and fellow students as well as discover the many opportunities our campus has to offer. There are also many social events to help you meet new people and have fun!
WOW is for all new residential, commuters, first-year and traditional-age transfer students, and attendance at many of the sessions is required, so please plan on being on campus for the entire weekend.
Weekend of Welcome 2026 - August 21-23
Weekend of Welcome for all new students will be August 21-23. Additional details will be provided in late spring 2026. Please check your BW email for updates.
