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!

Rise and shine, Wolves! Kick off your WOU journey with one of our favorite traditions. Join your fellow classmates to watch the sunrise, enjoy a free pancake & sausage breakfast, and celebrate the start of an unforgettable year.
Wear your favorite red and black and dress for the cool morning! After the sun rises, leave your mark by signing your name alongside generations of Wolves on the sidewalk.
A few years from now on the night before your graduation, you'll return to the same spot to watch the sunset with your class, a full-circle WOU tradition you'll never forget.
Make your mark at WOU! Leave your "paw print" by signing your name on the sidewalk during this PACK Welcome Week tradition. It's a fun way to celebrate the start of your college journey and leave a lasting reminder that you were here. Years from now, you can come back and find your signature as a piece of your WOU story.
Don't get lost on your first day! Join your WOU Crew member for a Find Your Classes & Professors' Offices Tour and make sure you know exactly where you're going when classes start. Bring your class schedule and they will tailor the tour to find your fall term rooms.
