Welcome Week

Welcome Week Fall 2023

Welcome to the Nest, Ospreys!

Welcome Week programs are designed to help you embrace Stockton as your new home- providing new opportunities for you to learn, build connections, and grow into your best self. Now that new students have decided to commit to Stockton, Welcome Week is intended to unify the incoming class as they take their next steps together in committing to the following actions/goals: 1) connect to other students, staff, and faculty during programs provided during Welcome Week and the academic year 2) contribute to a more safe, inclusive, and welcoming community, and 3) complete your degree at Stockton.

University guidelines on COVID-19 response will be followed, and can be found here.

Some events are mandatory for all new students no matter if you are a first-year student, transfer student, commuter, or residential student and attendance will be taken.
