New Student Receptions

Meet the cast of your next four years.

Each summer, a series of receptions for students in the incoming class and their families are held in person across the country. These receptions provide the perfect opportunity for the newest Demon Deacons to meet face-to-face before coming to campus in August. We hope that you’ll join us for an in-person reception, should one be offered in your home area or wherever you may be!

Additionally, we also host a virtual information session that all new students and families are encouraged to attend. University staff will review the New Student Checklist – covering everything from advising to residence life and housing, and everything in between!

Beginning in mid-late May of each year, this website will begins populating with information and registration links for the virtual information session and our in-person receptions. Invitations will also be sent via email beginning in mid-May based on a student’s primary address on file with the University.

Should you have any questions about these events, please contact the Office of Family Engagement at familyengagement@wfu.edu.
