Weeks of Welcome

The first four weeks of the fall semester provide opportunities for new and returning students to experience University traditions, and develop meaningful relationships within the University of Richmond community. While the Center for Student Involvement coordinates WOW, it is a collaborative effort across the entire University, building community by creating connections through signature events and programs.

WOW programming takes place during the first four weeks of the semester and aims to:

  • Build an inclusive Spider community
  • Form meaningful connections with students and staff
  • Connect students to campus tools and resources
  • Encourage and foster a sense of Spider Pride
