Welcome Weekend

Thank you to all the students, families, and alumni who helped make this year’s Welcome Weekend such a memorable start to the semester!

Save the date! Next fall, the semester will once again officially kick off the weekend before classes begin. Walsh University’s Welcome Weekend will be designed to introduce our incoming Freshman students to the exciting opportunities and important responsibilities that come with being part of the Cavalier Community. As always, Welcome Weekend events will be required for all Freshman students.

Welcome Weekend 2026

• Friday, August 21–Sunday, August 23

Fall Term I Classes Begin

• Monday, August 24, 2026

During Welcome Weekend, students will have the opportunity to meet their peers, connect with faculty and staff, and get acclimated to campus life. From fun activities to essential information sessions, this weekend sets the tone for a successful first year. Our goal is to make sure every Freshman feels supported, informed, and ready to begin their academic journey at Walsh University.
