Welcome Days

Who should attend?

Any high school sophomores, juniors, or seniors, as well as college transfer students and their parents are invited to join us for an eye-opening weekend on the campus of Welch College.

Why should I come?

This is your chance to experience all the aspects of life on campus in a 24 hours. If you want to make themost informed college decision possible, you need to make a campus visit, and Welcome Days is a great way to experience life at Welch College.

What can I expect on my visit?

The simple answer: Life at Welch College. You'll sit in on classes, attend chapel, tour the campus, eat in the cafeteria, stay in the dorms, and attend special events on Thursday and Friday. Visitors will also have the opportunity to interact with current students and faculty members. You and your parents will find out about financial aid options, the admissions process, and more. It's our goal to answer all of your questions!

Whats the cost?

The cost for this exciting weekend is only $35, and that includes all your meals, your room and a Welch College, admission to all events, and a Welch Colleget-shirt.
