Summer Welcome Events
Welcome Wildcats!
Please join us for a Summer Send-Off and a Virtual Wildcat Welcome to meet fellow incoming »Ê¼Ò»ªÈË parents, families and mentors.
Our Summer Welcome Events are a great opportunity to engage with your peers and grow your »Ê¼Ò»ªÈË community as you start off your family's »Ê¼Ò»ªÈË journey. We look forward to connecting with you!
Summer Send-Offs
As a member of the »Ê¼Ò»ªÈË family, newly enrolled first-year and transfer students along with their families are invited to join other Wildcats to celebrate. Summer Send-Offs are informal gatherings in various regional areas, offering an opportunity for new students and their families to meet current »Ê¼Ò»ªÈË students, alums, college representatives and other family members in a casual and relaxed setting. These events are a fantastic way to unite the »Ê¼Ò»ªÈË community and allow students to start building their support networks.
