Welcome Week is a fantastic programme run by UEA and uea(su) to help all new undergraduate students start uni feeling confident, settled and ready for their new adventure.
Now in its third year, Welcome Week has grown to include even more opportunities for students to learn about their new home, what support and services are available, meet people and develop a sense of belonging to the UEA community.
Welcome Week programme
Some highlights from this year include:
- Make Your Halls Your Home
- A massive, DIY drop-in craftathon led by local artists to help students create one of a kind décor for their new flats. Activities include lino printing, plant pot painting, fridge magnet making and more.
- UEA Ask Us Anything
- The Welcome Zone will be turned into an exhibition space allowing you to engage with the wide range of services available to students – from University of Sanctuary to the library and security teams, there’s sure to be something for everyone.
- Getting to know UEA
- A chance for you to find out more about your new home. You’ll be able to hear about the gigs (past and present) at The LCR, experience campus in a new light with a night-time photography trip, or settle down with a good book in the reading nook. Later on in the evening you can test your knowledge in our UEA-related quiz!
These sessions, plus many more including steadfast favourites such as the SU Societies and Club Fairs, are sure to help new students engage with everything that UEA has to offer.
