Weeks of Welcome 2025 (WOW2025)

Kick off your UMass Dartmouth experience with Weeks of Welcome—a series of events big and small, academic and social, exciting activities and time-honored traditions—some required, all recommended! This is an opportunity to explore the campus, meet new people, and get ready for the first day of classes.  You'll also see Corsair champions in action during the first athletic events of the school year.  

The 2025 Weeks of Welcome (WOW25) runs from August 31-September 20. It starts with Move-In Day and includes some of our favorite Corsair traditions like the Class Photo, Student Convocation and All-Campus Picnic.  Every new student will also participate in Corsair Olympics - your opportunity to compete in fun events as residential and commuter students.  It’s a blast!   

Events continue through the first two weeks of classes for new and returning students.  There’s something for everyone during Weeks of Welcome!  See below for a full list of WOW events!
