UIW Gears Up for Move-In Days and Welcome Week

As the summer begins to wind to a 关闭, a buzz of excitement fills the air at the University of the Incarnate Word. Students from all over the world are eagerly preparing for Welcome Week, the annual series of events that mark the start of a new academic year at the Nest.

From the moment they arrive on campus, new and returning students alike are greeted with a warm welcome. Faculty and staff members are on hand to offer guidance and support, helping them to settle in and find their way around.

But Welcome Week is more than just a chance to get acclimated. It's a time to make new friends, explore interests, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it's attending a Cardinal Crawl, enjoying delicious treats with friends, or simply lounging on Dubuis Lawn with fellow students, there's something for everyone to enjoy during this exciting week. Take a look below at what fun is in store for our Cardinals and UIW community to kick off another great year at the Nest!
