Rawkin’ Welcome Weeks is a great opportunity for students to continue the transition to college life at UNCG and find out what it means to be a Spartan.

All events are designed to help you get acclimated to campus by learning about academic support resources, campus programs and services, and most importantly, a chance to meet friends and make new Spartan connections.
