Weeks of Welcome
Join us for Fall 2022 Weeks of Welcome, a series of over 130 events taking place at SJSU open to ALL currently enrolled students!
Weeks of Welcome programs and events take place during the first few weeks of each semester. The goal of Weeks of Welcome is to welcome new and returning students to campus, and provide support for new students as they transition into SJSU. On-campus, you may hear Weeks of Welcome informally referred to as "WOW." All events are designed to support your success as a student. Fall 2022 Weeks of Welcome programs will take place between Friday, August 19 and Friday, September 30.
To make it easier to identify programs you might be interested in, you can look through the programs we put together last semester below:

Spartan Sunrise

Friday, August 19, 9:00am-12:00pm, Housing Quad (in-person)

The purpose of this event is to give students a chance to create new connections as they start off their school year, whether it is their first or last semester at SJSU. For first-year students and transfer students, it gives A.S. a chance to introduce ourselves and who we are while helping them network with other peers who may also be starting their journey at SJSU. Finally, it can be a stress reliever for beginning-of-the-year anxiety. #SpartanSunrise, @as_sjsu

Weeks of Welcome is a campus-wide initiative that is supported by more than 30 offices and departments! These areas host activities and events and provide resources during the first 5-6 weeks of every semester.

We often refer to Weeks of Welcome as "WOW."

The San Jose State University app, also known as the Sammy App, brings services to your fingertips and enables you to connect with classmates and friends.

We highly recommend that all SJSU students download the Sammy app - it's a great way to connect with other students and learn about events and resources!
