As part of your First-Year Experience (FYE), we kick off the academic year with an official SNC Welcome Week. It’s designed to introduce you not only to St. Norbert College and your Orientation leaders, but also to the social and co-curricular aspects of college life, and helps you settle into your new environment more comfortably.
On move-in day, Thursday, Aug. 21, 2025, you’ll discover your FYE group (there are about 12 students per group). Your group will meet with an upper-class student mentor throughout Welcome Week. Welcome Week events are important to help you begin your transition to college.
