Students have a full schedule of events to choose from, including sessions on success coaching, an introduction to the Uptown Loop shuttle, and even a planetarium show. It’s also a good opportunity to lay the foundation for their future successes during their time with us. The week before classes is now known as Welcome Week, and is a chance for students to get connected to WCU and each other.
New students are especially vital to the future of our institution. Students are why we’re here, and why we do what we do. The beginning of a new semester can bring some organizational stresses, but introducing our new students to WCU traditions more than makes up for it. The fall 2022-23 semester is fast approaching and we’re preparing campus for our newest Golden Rams and, of course, welcoming back our returning students. Although we’re currently feeling the heat of summer, many of us at West Chester University have our eyes locked on fall.
