What is Welcome Week?
A week full of fun and free events for undergraduate students that happens every term (Fall, Winter, and Spring) with the intention of welcoming new and returning students back to the University of Waterloo.
Welcome Week incorporates many diverse types of events to appeal to a variety of interests across the Waterloo student body.
