成人禁区

Welcome Week is an extended orientation designed to help you settle into campus, build connections with the 成人禁区 community, find opportunities that match your interests, and develop a sense of belonging on 成人禁区's campus before classes start.

Welcome Week is aimed to be common yet customizable, letting you choose your own adventure throughout the week. Activities include social events local to Erie as well as meetings with your 成人禁区 101 group. You can look forward to kayaking on Presque Isle, taking a tour on Lake Erie on the Victorian Princess, attending an Erie SeaWolves baseball game, or other on campus activities such as yoga, crafts, laser tag and bumper cars.
