WARHAWK LIFE
Welcome! Your journey as a Warhawk has just begun, and we encourage you to begin planning your college experience now. A little prep will help you hit the ground running when you need to make some key decisions in the coming months. Starting in October, for example, you’ll be able to indicate you’d like to join a Learning Community when you apply for housing in the residence halls. And ULead and other leadership opportunities will start signing new students up in the spring.
Set yourself up for a successful journey by getting to know your campus — or the community around us — the ways you can get involved, and the people and services we have to support you along the way!
Living on campus
Your future people
From Latinos Unidos to AMA, Black Student Union and Active Minds, start exploring student organizations now so you’ll be ready for the Involvement Fair in September.
The Warhawk Connection Center, located in the University Center, is where students collaborate, connect, relax or study, or attend one of the weekly programs and workshops.
Warning! Incoming first-year students who attend pre-college programs like the Multicultural Business Program, King/Chávez Program, STEM Boot Camp or ULead are likely to form friendships that will last through college — and beyond.
Being a part of the Greek Community is much more than a few years of fun, friends, and personal development. It offers a sense of accomplishment and ways to make the world a better place. Explore more so you’ll be ready for the fall recruitment season.
From disc golf and esports to water polo, dodgeball and pickleball, you’ll find dozens of club and intramural sports on campus that anyone can participate in!
This program is for motivated undergrads who seek a challenging and intellectually enriched learning environment. UHP provides small classes and high-impact practices like honors conference participation, special field trips, service learning projects, scholarship opportunities and more.
From Warhawk Marching Band to Gospel Choir to our Symphonic Wind Ensemble, we offer a host of musical groups open to all students, regardless of major!
More than 2,500 students work on campus every year, staffing the information desk at the UC, giving campus tours and working for the grounds crew — among many other jobs like dining and athletics.
ULead is a three-day program held in August that helps first-year students get involved on campus, focusing on providing knowledge and experiences that will help them become successful Warhawks!
