Academic Day: September 1, 2009

Academic Day is the first day of the academic year for all new students and is very important for all new Falcons! During Academic Day you will have an opportunity to jump-start your academic career at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.

You will gain a better understanding of what it means to be a UWRF student while connecting with faculty and classmates in your area of study. At the end of the day you will:

1) Know your academic advisor and how to contact him or her
2) Know the University and the resources available to you
3) Develop an understanding of your academic program and the expectations of your program
4) Begin to network and form relationships with other students in your area of study

We are excited to meet you and help you begin your journey as a new college student.
