Welcome Week begins with a last-minute New Student Orientation session and Move-In Weekend. You'll want to get here bright and early to unpack so you can take in the rest of the day's festivities. Just like NSO, Move-In Weekend has activities geared toward students, parents and younger brothers and sisters. While mom and dad are off meeting your advisor, you'll be hanging out with your residence hall neighbors and filling out roomate agreements.

The fun doesn't stop when your family leaves because that's when Welcome Week starts. Throughout the week (even after classes begin), there are great activities planned! You'll have bands to listen to, outdoor movies to watch, clubs and organization to sign up for, and free cosmic bowling to... bowl. Welcome Week is a great way to get acclimated to your new life – the demands of being a college student and the awesomeness of being one at Saint Mary's.

Detailed Welcome Week schedules are posted prior to the start of the school year. Questions may be directed to the Student Development Office at (507) 457-1640, (800) 635-5987, Ext, 1640, or studentdev@smumn.edu.
