Welcome Otters!

Week of Welcome 

Monday Aug. 18 – Wednesday, Aug. 20

9 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Week of Welcome is an initiative designed to support students during their first week of classes. CWI staff will be stationed across select campus locations to help students navigate the college’s various campuses, help students locate their classes, and provide students the opportunity to get answers to common questions that will promote a successful start to the semester! 

Student Resource Fair 

Kick off the semester with the Office of Student Engagement and Counseling and Wellness Services by exploring the many services and opportunities available to you at CWI. The Student Resource Fair brings together departments and community partners to help you make connections, find support, and get involved. Enjoy giveaways, meet staff and faculty, and discover tools to help you succeed both inside and outside the classroom. 

Club Fest 

Looking to make friends, develop leadership skills, or share your passion with others? Club Fest is the perfect place to explore active clubs at CWI or connect with the Office of Student Engagement to learn more about how to start a new club on-campus. Meet club representatives and learn how you can make the most of your campus experience. From academic clubs to special interests, there is something for everyone. 

Job & Career Fair 

Step into your future at CWI’s Job & Career Fair. Network with local employers, learn about job opening and internships, and connect with CWI Work-Based Learning Center for help with your resume and interview skills. Whether you are seeking part-time work, a full-time position, or career advice, this event is your gateway to professional growth. 

Here’s to a great semester ahead – let’s make Fall 2025 one to remember!
