Student Life Weeks of Welcome

Student Life is best known for hosting the best welcome-back weeks each semester for all students. In the Summer during Summer B our welcome back week is called Summer B Kickoff. The biggest welcome back week we host is during the Fall semester and this one is called Week of Welcome better known as WOW. The last but certainly not least week we host each year is during the Spring called Spring Week of Welcome better known as Spring WOW. 

Each of these weeks is at the start of the semester. Our department ensures that we host events for all students to enjoy doing things such as activities, games, music, and of course food. All of our events are open to all current students and you are always allowed to bring a guest with you. Just be sure to bring your Osprey 1card to enjoy.

WOW FEE

To fully engage students during their first week at UNF, new students are asked to pay a small one-time payment. This payment ensures that new students are able to participate in engaging activities and events to get to know their fellow students, and the university and of course receive custom UNF merch. This fee is not mandatory but highly recommended to receive the best possible welcome experience.
