Welcome Week
Welcome to the Jungle!
SOAR Phase II allows new students to take part in activities and events which will orient them more to the University, familiarize them to campus surroundings, and give an opportunity to develop friendships as they begin college. Below is the schedule of events. Students will not want to miss out as cash prizes and other big ticket prizes will be given throughout the week.
