Welcome

Ready to take flight? Weeks of Welcome at Florida Atlantic University will help you begin to paint your Owl story. You will connect with other students, become familiar with campus, and get acquainted with the many resources available to you. We want to help prepare you for a successful academic and social experience. In addition to many fun activities, we have planned educational sessions and workshops that connect you with campus partners.

For more information, please contact Richard Mahler, Assistant Director of Student Activities and Involvement at mahlerr@fau.edu.
