Welcome Home

Week of Welcome 2025 will be special indeed, as we look to provide an amazing kick off for our incoming first-year and transfer students. Week of Welcome (WOW) is our way of welcoming you to the flock as a new UO student and celebrating what will be an exciting next chapter in your educational journey.

The week will kick off with our first signature event on Friday, September 26, following Unpack the Quack, our University Housing move-in experience. For more information about Unpack the Quack, check out the move-in website.

For the most up-to-date WOW information and schedule, keep checking this webpage for details as we approach September!
