Welcome Tigers!
We can’t wait to welcome our new Tigers to campus! Join us as we kick off the Fall semester with Weeks of Welcome, August 12–19, 2026, where you will make connections with fellow new students, faculty, staff and the campus community. But it doesn't end there! Weeks of Welcome includes traditional student experiences — and even Fall Family Weekend — while affirming a strong sense of belonging for our students.
ROARING START
Start the academic year off on a strong note by taking part in some of our favorite annual traditions, University Convocation and the First Friday Parade.
