Welcome Week 2024 (WOW2024)
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 2024 Weeks of Welcome (WOW24) runs from September 1-15. 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!

Did you know that our campus has a labyrinth next to LARTS? Unlike a maze, labyrinths have one path in and one path out and provide a wonderful opportunity for reflection, contemplation, and stress relief. The Center for Religious and Spiritual Life invites you to join a guided walk through the campus labyrinth with Kari Mofford, Librarian and Meditation Teacher, during the weeks of welcome by signing up for a session. You will then receive an Outlook invite with more information for meeting at the labyrinth. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Kari Mofford - kmofford@umassd.edu
