WINTER WELCOME | JANUARY 6-22, 2021

It's time to get at it! Your first week as a college student starts here. We have a whole set of online learning that will prepare you for your arrival on campus and beyond! Click the day to see what's up.

NOTE: Events are being added on a daily basis throughout.

HEY ALSO: IF YOU'RE ON YOUR PHONE, DON'T TOUCH THE WORDS IN THE GREY BOXES. TOUCH TO THE RIGHT OF THE WORDS IN THE GREY BOXES. If you touch the words, you won't see anything. Why? I don't know. Ask Steve Jobs, or that little green robot thing. And if you don't have an iPhone or an Android, can I ask you a question? Do you have a Pixel? Do you like it? Because I've heard...okay, anyway--

Day One
HERE WE GO!

What's good, Bulldogs?!

Let's get started on what's bound to be the best four years of your life. Your first module will give you an overview of what to expect this week from your virtual welcome experience. We'll show you how to use the online tools you'll need and issue you some social media challenges that will probably result in some sweet, sweet prize action. So whaddya waitin' for?
