Welcome Week has been a tradition at ÇÑ×ÓÊÓƵ for over 30 years.  During this four-day welcome you will be placed in small groups, with a small group leader.  (These small groups will be made up of students in one of your fall classes called CORE 100)  Your group will connect over evening outings, meals, sessions and so much more.  You'll meet fellow students, discover ways you'll fit into the Calvin community, and learn how to be successful your first semester here..
