Welcome Week
Welcome Week is Southwest Baptist University's new student orientation program. First time freshmen as well as transfer students are encouraged to attend. Welcome Week 2009 will provide a great opportunity for new students to become better acquainted with SBU and with one another. The weekend events, along with the New Student Orientation program, will help you meet new friends, make the transitions academically and provide opportunities for you to begin thinking about what it means to follow Christ in a collegiate environment.
WW09 will begin on Wednesday, August 19th, 2009. Students will be able to move into their own dorm rooms and meals will be provided. Please join us for WW09!
