As we approach the end of the spring semester, we know it seems strange to be thinking about undergraduate student Welcome Weekend when it is still four months away! However, we want to let you know about some changes in the schedule that may affect your planning.
There were a variety of reasons for these changes, but we believe this will serve our incoming students and families very well! Of course, our goal is always for us to show tremendous hospitality and welcome to these new members of our community. We will post the schedule on our Welcome Weekend website when it is finalized.
If you have questions about how this change will impact you or your department, please contact Stephanie St. Cyr (sstcyr@georgefox.edu) or Bill Buhrow (bbuhrow@georgefox.edu).
