You’re back! Or you’re here for the first time! Either way, you made it to Bronco Welcome and we’re so happy and excited for you. Here are some ways you can get prepared, meet people, and get your semester off to a great start.

1) Stay active at the Recreation Center

The Outdoor Program Climbing Gym is offering free Intro to Climbing classes 2 – 8 p.m. starting Monday, January 13 for the first two weeks of the semester. Learn the basics of climbing gear, knots, belaying,  communication and safety.

2) Order your class materials

It’s a good idea to order your class materials online. You can find steps to access your personalized booklist on the Bronco Shop website.

3) Say “yes” to meeting new people

On January 13 , go to the dorm quad from 6 – 8 p.m. for Neighborhood Night. Adjusting to you new surroundings can take some time so play games, make new friends and join in on the various events happening across campus to find belonging. 

4) Take a break to play

Stop by the Games Center in the Student Union Building to play a free game of bowling or billiards, 10 a.m. – 10 p.m., January 12 to 18. Bring a friend and have some fun!

5) Warm up your first day 

Warm up to the new semester with a hot chocolate and good company at the Hot Cocoa Social on the Quad on January 13 from 11 a.m to 1 p.m. Hot drinks and friends: no better way to start your semester!

5 ½) You did it!

There’s a lot of things to check off of every student’s list before school starts and that is definitely overwhelming, but you’ve done it. A new semester is here! Celebrate yourself, and have a great semester!
