Graduate Student Week of Welcome

Graduate Student Week of Welcome is a week-long celebration to welcome new and returning graduate students each fall and spring. Coordinated by the Office of Graduate Studies (OGS), this celebration features a series of events for Bulls to make lasting connections and have a successful start to their graduate careers. Welcome to USF!

Activities are open to all graduate students as we connect to engage by exchanging ideas, knowledge, and information.

Please share this list of activities with other graduate students and visit the Office of New Student Connection's Week of Welcome (WOW) website to learn about other campus-wide events provided for USF students on each campus.
