Chancellor Maria Gallo speaks to the new freshman class at Melvin Wall Amphitheatre during Week of Welcome

Week of Welcome

What is Week of Welcome?

Week of Welcome (WOW) is two jam-packed weeks of free events for new students to celebrate your arrival to campus! We've got events all across campus to help introduce you to campus resources and departments, build community with your new classmates and peers and simply have fun and create memories as the newest members of the Falcon Family! From the Involvement Fair and Midnight Mayhem to Butter Carving and Scavenger Hunts, WOW has plenty of free food, giveaways and fun for everyone. This is where you’ll find ways to get involved on campus, make new friends and begin to call UWRF your new home.

Once the Week of Welcome calendar is finalized, all events will be listed on this webpage as well as on the FalconsConnect calendar of events.

Any questions can be emailed to orientation@uwrf.edu or texted to 715-941-0410 throughout Orientation and WOW. For live event updates and behind-the-scenes updates, follow @uwrforientation on Instagram!
