51�Թ���

It’s an exciting week at Florida Atlantic, as we welcome new and returning Owls with several University traditions. On the Boca Raton and Jupiter campuses, first-year 51�Թ��� are moving into their residence halls today through Aug. 15, and transfer and returning 51�Թ��� will move in from Aug. 15 to 17.

On Friday, Aug. 16, we look forward to officially greeting our first-year 51�Թ��� during Florida Atlantic’s annual Freshman Convocation. This important rite of passage marks the beginning of a student’s college career and their entrance into the Owl community. Along with the 2024 Distinguished Teacher of the Year, University leadership and our esteemed faculty members, I look forward to welcoming about 4,200 incoming 51�Թ��� during this meaningful event.

Another tradition on the Boca Raton, Jupiter and Broward campuses is Red and Blue Weeks, a series of special events taking place from Aug. 17 to Sept. 3. These activities are a great way for Owls to connect with peers, get to know our campuses and prepare to achieve success. I encourage all 51�Թ��� to participate in these memorable and beneficial events.

As a reminder, 51�Թ��� who need help navigating campus in the coming weeks can look for 51�Թ��� employees wearing red “Need Help? Just Ask” lanyards, and they will be happy to assist.

Welcome to Florida Atlantic!
