Georgia Southern welcomed new students to the Eagle Nation this fall with its annual \u201cWeeks of Welcome\u201d (WOW). Held over the first six weeks of class, WOW helps prepare students for success during their time on campus, empowers them with a variety of events and activities, and assists first-year, transfer and returning students in forming friendships, connecting with University resources, and getting involved in campus life. Whether it\u2019s attending an athletics event, joining classmates at Eagles Night Out or attending a show in the Russell Union, the idea behind WOW is to connect new Eagles to the campus and neighboring community. Through WOW, students can identify resources and services provided; make strong connections with faculty, staff and other students; embrace diversity by broadening cultural views; learn and understand the values and expectations of the University; and build pride and passion for all of the Eagle Nation.<\/p>\n
