Fall 2020 Return-to-Campus #11 – Weeks of Welcome

Tuesday, Aug 25, 2020

Weeks of Welcome (WOW) has taken place at Florida Atlantic University for many years. Students who have experienced Weeks of Welcome in their first year at FAU have felt more connected to the University and met lifelong friends. This fall, the majority of WOW events are taking place virtually.

Events are intended to connect students, as well as to help them become familiar with campus and get acquainted with the many resources available. FAU wants to prepare students for a successful academic and social experience. Additionally, there are many activities in which returning students can participate.

To view a list of WOW events, visit  www.fau.edu/student/hereforyou . For more information, email  involvement@fau.edu  or follow @faustudents on Instagram.

If you attend an event in person, remember that it’s everyone’s responsibility to  Protect Your Owl Family Face coverings are now required at all times when on FAU campuses, both inside and outside buildings.  FAU’s safety triad of face coverings, physical distancing, and hand and surface sanitization will help prevent the further spread of COVID-19 on campuses and within the local communities. Details are available in the University’s  Health and Safety  plan. Those in violation of the FAU’s health and safety policies are subject to disciplinary action.

Remember to visit the dedicated  COVID-19 website  as it is the best source of FAU-specific information. The  Guidance and Services  page features an “A-Z” listing of items from around the University. New information is added to the pages as we confirm changes in our operations.

General questions related to the COVID-19 situation should be directed to  FAUCOVID19@fau.edu . All feedback will be shared with applicable departments across the FAU campuses to ensure adjustments, as necessary.
