Organized by the University’s Welcome Week Coordinator and the Student Unions’ Welcome Week Chair, Welcome Week is an annual experience for St. Thomas University’s incoming class, designed to help new students gain familiarity with campus and have a positive transition to student life. This first week is comprised of many fun events organized to encourage school/house pride as well as give first-year students the opportunity to connect with peers. 

Welcome Week is a dry week, which means there is an alcohol and cannabis ban that applies to all students, regardless of their age or year of study. The St. Thomas University community has a zero-tolerance hazing policy that allows students to enjoy a positive and safe environment during Welcome Week.

 
 
 
The Welcome Leaders were extremely friendly. All the upperclassmen were a joy to be around and were always smiling.

WELCOME WEEK KITS

All first year students receive a Welcome Kit containing STUSU swag and other university essentials.

These are available at the Welcome Centre located on the main floor of Sir James Dunn Hall until the end of Welcome Week.

Student ID required.

 
I had a great time during Welcome Week and it definitely made the move from PEI to here much easier and less intense!
