Option 1: Week of Welcome – Small Group Experience
The Traditional Week of Welcome (WOW) experience includes grouping by living community with other new students from your residence hall. The group is led by two orientation leaders. Week of Welcome programming encompasses key programs, key connections, and key resources - all of which new students will engage with during WOW this year! All required WOW programming will be hosted in person to ensure a consistent experience for the entire incoming class of new Mustangs. Community-building and engagement activities will take place throughout the week to connect both new Mustangs joining from home and those living on campus.
Option 2: Week of Welcome - Cross-Cultural Experience (CCE)
Week of Welcome - Cross-Cultural Experience programming seeks to form a community for students who identify as a member of an underrepresented group including, but not limited to various racial and ethnic backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, and economic class. CCE includes alternative experiences for WOWies new students such as: fun activities, workshops, discussions, and a multicultural resource fair that centers the voices of underrepresented students at Cal Poly and ensures that as a CCE participant you are connecting to resources and communities that will help you be a successful Mustang!
