Ram Welcome is an orientation and transition program for all new first-year and transfer students.
Ram Welcome 2012All new first-year and transfer students attend Ram Welcome the four days before classes begin. It builds upon the orientation experience (including Preview, Next Step and CSU Connect) for new students once they have arrived on campus in the fall.

Ram Welcome 2012 will help new students:
Ram Welcome for new first-year students begins at 4 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16, after students have moved into their residence halls and attended their floor meeting. Transfer Ram Welcome begins at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 16, with the Transfer, Veteran and Adult Learner Welcome in the Student Recreation Center.
At 4:30 p.m., new first-year students will meet their Ram Welcome Leader and learn everything they need to know about when and where to be for Ram Welcome.
From there, new first-year students and transfer students will attend Convocation and be officially welcomed to the University. Students should don their green for this official welcoming from President Tony Frank, Provost Rick Miranda, Vice President for Student Affairs Blanche Hughes and the ASCSU President.
Following Convocation, students and parents are invited to the New Student and Family Picnic with the CSU Alumni Association. The outdoor picnic will take place on the Intramural Fields. New students will need to show their RamCard, and parents and family members will need a ticket to attend the event. The deadline to purchase tickets for parents and family members was July 31, 2012.
