Schedules

There are so many fun and informative events planned in and around campus during Welcome Week. There is something for everyone! Below you will find links to the various schedules available for those who are participating in Welcome Week:

  • : This link includes every event during Welcome Week, including some that do not apply to some students.

  • : International undergraduate students are required to attend the international student orientation, Aug. 17-21. After international student orientation, undergraduates should plan to attend all required Welcome Week programming, Aug. 22-25.
  • Schools and Colleges Schedules: In addition to the Universitywide events, students have required and optional events to attend hosted by their home school or college.
