Sacramento State is welcoming students to campus with Hornet Weeks of Welcome (WOW) this Fall 2014.

Hornet Weeks of Welcome is three weeks of non-stop activities to get students involved in fun, adventure and learning.

Hornet WOW’s website describes Weeks of Welcome as “a way for you to meet new friends, learn more about the University, and have fun.”

Hornet WOW got the ball rolling Aug. 29 with move-in day where volunteers helped new Hornets move into the dorms. The stream of events will come to a close Sept. 20 with the Hornet football team vs. Menlo at the Hornet Stadium.

In the three weeks of activities, Hornet WOW has a lot to offer students.

Students interested in getting involved on campus through different clubs and organizations can participate in Club Days in the Quad starting Tuesday, Sept. 2, 12-2 p.m. in the Library Quad.

For two weeks, over 130 of 300 student organizations will have booths and tables set up for incoming students to learn more about their club events and activities.

The Wednesday Nooner, taking place Sept. 3 and 17, consists of concerts including performances by Ideateam, Groovincible and Island of Black and White during Weeks of WOW.

These free concerts give Sac State students the opportunity to discover new artists, enjoy free Jamba Juice and participate in a prize drawing for a bicycle.

On Wednesday Sept. 10, The University Union will host its 15th anniversary of Phlagleblast 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This event acts as an open house and welcoming celebration with food samples, giveaways and discounted services.

UNIQUE Programs will be hosting free live entertainment during Phlagleblast including music by KSSU, Shauna Lea & The Hired Guns, The Old Screen Door and Caleche Ryder.

Students who complete the Phlagleblast “game card” scavenger hunt will be entered into a surprise drawing.

For the more adventurous students, during the last week of Hornet WOW, students can participate in a three-day Yosemite Half Dome Backpacking trip.

For $131 the trip will include transportation, hiking guides, equipment, dinner, entrance fees and permit fees.

Although most of the events are meant to gather the campus and community in a fun atmosphere, there are other events that are more educational in value.

Thursday, Sept. 4 students will have the opportunity to learn how they can transition from students in classes to professionals at work with the help of academic advisors and the Career Center.

Classes to Careers: Make the Connection Here will be held in The Union at 10 a.m.

Other educational events include a lecture by civil rights activist Dolores Huerta and Career Café where students can speak with about 15 on-campus employers about job opportunities.
