CSUN Welcome Events
Our CSUN Welcome Week events are a series of activities and programs organized by campus partners to welcome and introduce new students to campus life! These events typically take place during the first few weeks of the academic year and aim to help students transition smoothly into their new environment, make friends, and familiarize themselves with campus resources and opportunities. We hope these events create a sense of belonging, provide support, and set the stage for a successful and enjoyable university experience!
