Welcome Experience

Every year, CBU says “Welcome!” to its new students with a myriad of activities.

August 14-17, 2025

The Division of Student Affairs can’t wait to kick off the 2025-2026 academic year! All students are invited to attend Welcome Experience 2025 on Thursday, August 14 – Sunday, August 17, 2025.

This is an opportunity for the CBU community to officially greet the Class of 2029 and to invite returning students back for a new year. We hope that you are just as excited to be at CBU as we are to have you!

The Welcome Experience is for both residential and commuter students and is an integral part of the First Year Experience. All first-year freshmen are required to attend. You’ll have an opportunity to learn more about campus, give back to the community, enjoy activities, and start building lifelong friendships.

• First Year and new residential students will move onto campus, Thursday, August 14, 2025. Specific housing and move-in procedures are available to residents in their CBU e-mail. 
• First Year commuter students should plan to join the community on Thursday, August 14, 2025 at 4:30pm and plan to attend events throughout the entire weekend.
•  Upperclassmen will be welcomed back to campus on Saturday, August 16, 2025.

Information about Welcome Experience 2025 will be shared via CBU email and on this page. Students may also follow the Division of Student Affairs Instagram for more updates. If you have additional questions, please email studentaffairs@cbu.edu.
