Welcome to Campus!

College is a whole new world, but it only takes a few days to make it feel like home. Winter Welcome is your chance to settle in, explore your new home and meet other Bearcats. The events range from academic to fun activities. During Winter Welcome, you meet with your University Seminar class, visit with your academic advisor, and take care of campus business such as picking up your laptop and textbooks. There are also events such as movie and game nights!
