Aurora University
First-Year Program

Welcome Week

Held prior to the start of fall classes, Welcome Week events familiarize first-year students with their new home and the university community. In addition to meetings with resident assistants and peer advisors, the university hosts a variety of get-acquainted activities. Through these events, new students have the opportunity to make friends and acquaint themselves with the campus.
