Before you dive into your first term of classes, we have a jam-packed week of exciting activities to help you become acclimated to campus life. From speakers, to socials, to signing your name on the sidewalk, join your fellow new wolves to begin making your mark at WOU!
By participating in PACK Welcome Week, you agree to be photographed and/or recorded and grant Western Oregon University the permission to use your image, voice, and likeness in any university materials or communications.

Looking to make new connections, share some laughs, and find your campus crew? Join us for Speed Friending — a fast-paced, low-pressure way to meet awesome new people!
Rotate through quick, fun conversations and leave with new friends (and maybe a few fun stories). Whether you're a social butterfly or just dipping your toes into campus life, everyone’s welcome. Plus, you'll get to meet the friendly faces behind the Office of Student Conduct, Dean of Student's and Abby's House — we’re more about community than you might think! Snacks, good vibes, and great connections are happening here!
Math and science classes can be challenging. Faculty members from these departments invite you to learn about techniques that help students succeed. Current WOU students will share their experiences and thoughts on student success, as well as tips on how to connect with other students through clubs and organizations such as FEM in STEM, the Natural Science Club, the Pre-Med Club, the Math Club, and Byte Club. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about the strategies and skills that will help them succeed at WOU. We welcome students who plan to major in math and sciences, as well as students who plan to major in other disciplines but want to do well in their General Education required courses.
NOTE: This session is also offered in a later Ed Session Block.
