What is Welcome Week?

Welcome Week, August 19-22, is the official beginning of your life as a Baylor student. The journey includes four days full of activities that introduce you to life at Baylor. Students are encouraged to grow physically, intellectually, socially and spiritually--the four aspects of the Welcome Week Wheel.

Throughout Welcome Week you will have the opportunity to participate in many wonderful activities designed to welcome you into the community at Baylor. New students are invited to experience what it means to be a thriving member of a community of faith and a community of learning, as they interact with fellow students, faculty and staff and begin their academic pursuits.

Welcome Week features the opportunity to be part of a small group. These small groups are led by upperclass student leaders, who will encourage you as you begin your Baylor journey. In your small groups, we hope that you will have the opportunity to build relationships other new students, learn more about campus life at Baylor, and feel better equipped to start your classes.
