What to expect during your first week
Welcome Week is a busy period and it's the best time to get out there, try something new, and meet new people! Here is what you can expect during your first week at StFX:
- Welcome activities with Student Life staff, off campus coordinators, and StFX’s O-Crew. This includes meeting your residence leaders and student life staff — your go-to for anything you need in first-year.
- An orientation program for international students.
- Residence and floor meetings to introduce you to your floormates and your building.
- "Get to know you" activities with fellow new students to meet your peers.
- The Xaverian Welcome Ceremony, a StFX tradition that marks the beginning of your Xaverian journey.
- A full week of activities, plus much more through the month of September.
