Winter Warm-Up
Congratulations to our new students!
Winter Warm-Up is our signature transition program that takes place throughout the first week of winter term, January 5–9, 2026. We want to welcome all of our newest first-year and transfer students, as well as first-year and transfer students who joined us in the fall.
Winter term is our second-largest incoming class, taking second only to fall, and we know it can be challenging to arrive on campus mid-year. Come engage and have a little fun with new peers, staff, and faculty members from across campus to get your winter term started off right.
