First Week/First Weekend

1. an extended adventurous wandering; 2. an intellectual or spiritual quest; 
          3. the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Student Orientation         

Dear New Student,

Welcome to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh! As you join our community and begin to participate in new academic adventures and campus activities, we hope you will quickly immerse yourself in university life and enjoy the opportunities afforded to you throughout the year.

Upperclass residence hall and commuter students, as well as a large contingency of faculty and staff have planned invigorating orientation programs during Odyssey 2007 to assist you in becoming an active UW Oshkosh student. On Wednesday, September 5th, classes begin for Fall 2007 starting at 8:00 a.m.

Look for opportunities to engage your professors in spirited classroom discussions, attend football games and soccer matches, organize an intramural team for your hall, browse the Polk Library for research and enjoyment, jog along the Fox River, partcipate in the Homecoming Parade, enhance your skills in the Reading and Writing Center, join a committee of MEC, RUB, OSA, or USRH, and meet new life-long friends.

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday, September 2, 2007 at 5:30 p.m. in the Kolf Sports Center during your Opening Ceremony. Again, welcome to campus and enjoy the experience!

Sincerely,

James M. Chitwood
Dean of Students
and Director of Residence Life
