UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
We know that entering college or transferring mid-year can be difficult. There is a lot to learn about your campus in a short amount of time. During the Winter of Welcome, you'll explore campus resources and learn about life as a Falcon, all while meeting some great new people! From checking out textbooks to exploring campus, our orientation staff will help you learn about your new home away from home.
This program is tailored for all students, both transfer and first-year. All new students are expected to attend. For information on this year's Winter of Welcome program, check back to this page soon.
We can't wait to see you there and welcome you to the Falcon Family!
We will be giving away UWRF mugs at our events while supplies last! There will also be a raffle at the end of the week where you could win a Microsoft Surface 2 Headphone! We will be giving out THREE so don't forget to attend! Every time you attend an event, your name will be put into the raffle. For Friday and Saturday's event please email studentinvolvement@uwrf.edu with a picture of yourself participating the event and W# so can count your participation!
Receive Falcon Five Points by also filling out the form for each event you attended as well!
