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!

Interested in joining choir? We have a choir for you! Come chat with us about the benefits and opportunities of being in a choir at WOU. We'll also discuss the audition process (it’s not scary!) and answer any other choir-related questions you may have. See you there!
NOTE: This session is also offered in a later Ed Session Block.
Ready to see where your imagination can take you? In this interactive workshop, we're breaking the "rules" of traditional writing to explore the power of storytelling through different lenses.
Whether we are building scenes out of LEGOs, stepping through mysterious doorways, or crafting collaborative epics one sentence at a time, this session is all about creative problem-solving and finding your voice. No "perfect" grammar required—just a willingness to play, build, and connect with fellow students through the art of the narrative.
In this session, you will: - Connect with peers through shared creative challenges, - Develop adaptable storytelling skills applicable to any major, - Explore how visual and tactile prompts can jumpstart academic and personal writing, and - Most importantly, have fun through creativity.
NOTE: This session is also offered in a later Ed Session Block.
