September 24–27, 2026

Week of Welcome is an important time for both you and your student(s). Just as we intentionally ensure that your student is smoothly introduced and incorporated into the University of Oregon, we believe that you should have a relationship with the university, as well. We hope you will join us for the following Week of Welcome events presented by Parent and Family Programs.

Explore Eugene on Your Own

It’s your day to relax and enjoy everything Eugene has to offer. Whether it’s hiking, rafting, wine tasting, golfing, or checking out the Saturday Market, there’s so much to explore. Visit the Eugene, Cascades and Oregon Coast website to find local businesses and book your experience.
