What is Welcome Weekend?
Welcome Weekend is the four-day fall orientation program designed just for incoming students, both first-year and transfer. Welcome Weekend includes a variety of events to help you become acquainted with campus, succeed at FHSU, and create lifelong friendships.
The Office of Student Engagement is taking precautions to protect our students, faculty and staff, and incoming students from the spread of COVID-19. We are adjusting this program so that there are multiple sessions to ensure social distancing measures. Throughout the experience, our focus is on helping students feel comfortable and confident in their new role as members of the Tiger family through interactions with fellow students, advisors, staff, and professors. We will also be providing a virtual track to replicate several experiences that will occur over Welcome Weekend.

There is an ongoing pandemic in the United States caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The virus causes the respiratory infection known as COVID-19. The symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, shortness of breath, headache and body aches. A severe illness can result in death. Individuals with certain chronic diseases are at increased risk for a severe illness. The risks associated with COVID-19 are ongoing, and your participation in this event increases your risk of exposure to the virus. All participants are expected to observe appropriate infection control measures for personal health and for the health of others. It is your responsibility to:
- Stay away if you are ill
- Wear a mask to protect others
- Wash your hands routinely and thoroughly
