Weekend of Welcome, known as WOW, takes place during the weekend prior to the start of fall semester. Sessions are a continuation of your orientation experience, with opportunities to meet with faculty, connect to peers, and explore your academic and co-curricular experience. You will have time in your FYE sections, your Color Group, and experience a "Hive Hang Out" with others who share your interests. There are social events of various kinds to meet new people and to connect to BW.
There is something for everyone as you find your place as a new student!
