Opening Week is right around the corner, kicking off the fall semester and welcoming our incoming students with a week of activities to help them transition to life at S&T. This year’s theme is “Camp O-week – Peace, Love, and Campfires.”

During O-week students acclimate to campus through mentorship and interactive activity blocks, highlighting available resources and services, student clubs and organizations, and information that will aid them in flourishing at S&T. Students will have a mentor and mentor group that will help them build a strong foundation to start the year. With the mentor group, students will design and build an RC car which they will race against other teams on Friday, Aug. 16.

The week’s events will end with convocation at 4 p.m. Aug. 16, in the Gale Bullman Building. Please do not schedule anything during convocation to allow students and staff to attend. Thank you in advance for everything you and your teams do to support onboarding our new students!
