Welcome Wildcats!

Please join us for a Summer Send-Off and a Virtual Wildcat Welcome to meet fellow incoming 51¹ÙÍø parents, families and mentors.

Our Summer Welcome Events are a great opportunity to engage with your peers and grow your 51¹ÙÍø community as you start off your family's 51¹ÙÍø journey. We look forward to connecting with you!

Summer Send-Offs

As a member of the 51¹ÙÍø family, newly enrolled first-year and transfer students along with their families are invited to join other Wildcats to celebrate. Summer Send-Offs are informal gatherings in various regional areas, offering an opportunity for new students and their families to meet current 51¹ÙÍø students, alums, college representatives and other family members in a casual and relaxed setting. These events are a fantastic way to unite the 51¹ÙÍø community and allow students to start building their support networks.

Virtual Wildcat Welcomes

51¹ÙÍø staff will host virtual meet and greets for parents, family members, mentors and supporters. Current families will be available to discuss and answer questions about their families' 51¹ÙÍø experiences. Incoming families may attend any of the events. The planned program will be the same on all dates.
