The University of Central Missouri’s Week of Welcome (WOW) is a large series of programs hosted by the University to help first year, transfer and non-traditional students in their transition to academic and student life. WOW is only one week, but the possibilities are endless! Join us every semester for this campus tradition - Week of Welcome in August and Week of Welcome Back in January.
Get ready for the semester with the Getting Started Check List.
Check out all the activities during UCM's Week of Welcome. All activities are free of charge for you to attend. Engagement in these activities will help you start off your college career on the right path.
If you are a member of a Recognized Student Organization or campus office and are offering events during this time, please email osa@ucmo.edu to be added to the 2025 Week of Welcome Schedule.
