Welcome activities are a celebration of all of our new students, focusing on:
- Getting you settled into your new campus environment.
- Learning the information you need to start your semester strong.
- Participating in fun activities that will help you engage with campus life and develop your own community.
New students who take part in welcome activities are more successful and get better connected to UW-Platteville. You’ll maximize your college experience if you fully participate in these activities and events. While these events are not mandatory, we strongly encourage you to attend.
