TWOW: Triton Weeks of Welcome


Welcome. We're glad you're here.

Your student experience at UC San Diego begins with Triton Weeks of Welcome (TWOW), a campus-wide series of introductory activities, special programs, and signature events at the start of each academic year – designed to engage, inform, and welcome all students to the Triton community.

What is TWOW?

Triton Weeks of Welcome (TWOW) consists of:

  • New student ORIENTATIONS;
  • Residential MOVE-IN; and
  • Traditional WEEK 0 welcome events
    (like Triton UnOlympics, Convocation, Meet the Beach, Triton Fest and more)

By participating in TWOW programming, Tritons will:

  • Engage in opportunities for friendship;
  • Learn more about vital academic and student support resources;
  • Move onto campus;
  • Develop a sense of belonging in a new environment;
  • Begin to build a cohesive, inclusive community; and
  • Have some fun with fellow Tritons!

"Week 0" Welcome Events

A part of TWOW, UC San Diego's Week 0 welcome events includes a series of collaborative activities designed to welcome all students to the UC San Diego community, like: concerts, resource center open houses, smaller departmental events, and College-specific events and opportunities.

Signature/Flagship TWOW Events

These "must do" events are open to all – designed to instill Triton community pride, foster a sense of belonging, increase school spirit, and highlight some of the best things that our campus has to offer every Triton. Don't miss them!
