New Student Events
Even before classes start, all departments on campus are committed to welcoming incoming Hawks to RWU at Orientation and Convocation. Once you’re officially on campus, and either settling into a Living Learning Community or taking Roger’s Seminar, there are several opportunities beyond the classroom to acquaint you to the University, like participating in 30+ events during Weeks of Welcome!
Orientation
Students and families will spend two days visiting campus and learning about all RWU has to offer from academics to student life, hosted by our Orientation Advisors. Meet your future classmates, register for classes, and get ready for college!
Convocation
An annual tradition that marks the beginning of your time as a Hawk, students and families gather to be officially welcomed and celebrated by the University. Cue the bagpipes!
Weeks of Welcome
New students are welcomed with a series of fun events for all interests! With over 40 events, Student Programs, Leadership, & Orientation provides Hawks with several opportunities to make friends and experience all RWU has to offer.
