Blugold Welcome

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 first week of class. 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!

If you are an individual with a disability and need accommodations to attend any of our events, please contact our Welcome Team at orientation@uwec.edu.
