The committee organizing UWindsor Welcome Week requires anyone planning to host a social activity during the orientation period to submit an event information form no later than July 3 to have it included in schedule and promotional materials.

Megan Elliott, student development specialist in the Student Success and Leadership Centre, says the focus is to foster connection among newcomers and upper-year students. Student clubs, societies, faculty, and partnering offices all have a role to play.

“We are so excited to collaborate with event planners from across campus to give our new Lancers a warm UWindsor welcome,” Elliott says. “Our work now to facilitate the transition of first-year undergraduates to campus life will allow them to form connections, find community, and learn about resources and supports available to them.”

Welcome Week runs Sept. 1 to 7. Find more information about its goals on the orientation program website.
