Welcome WEEK

After you move onto campus and before the first day of class, New Student Programs hosts events which help you get connected to your campus.  Welcome Week is open to all new students and includes programs and activities that help you navigate college, connect with classmates, explore campus, and prepare for successful years at West Chester University.

Highlights of Welcome Week 2025:

  • The class photo: The newest class of Golden Rams come together on the Quad for a class photo.
  • New Student Convocation Celebration: WCU President welcome and kick-off to the fall semester
  • Welcome to the Borough: explore and tour downtown West Chester
  • Ram Rally: A high-energy celebration featuring music, fireworks, food trucks, and live music.
  • And much more!
