Blugold Welcome Schedule of Events

Widgets

We LOVE to welcome our Blugolds in a BIG way!

Blugold Welcome is every incoming Blugold's official, interactive, engaging welcome to campus. Our fall schedule kicks off with move-in and continues through the second week of classes, and our spring schedule occurs the weekend before classes begin. Each year, there are a variety of activities and social get-togethers to connect all incoming Blugolds with campus and the surrounding community, with lots of free food and UWEC swag!

Are you a current Blugold, staff, or faculty member and want to get in on the action? Consider volunteering! It takes a village to put on these events, and we appreciate your help. Volunteer sign-up will be available here when open (before the fall term).
