Welcome to Cougar Athletics

CCUAthlete Welcome: August 15-16, 2008

Welcome new Cougar athletes! We look forward to seeing you on August 15-16, 2008 for Athlete Welcome – a special event for all new student-athletes and their families.

Athlete Welcome will be filled with both social activities and educational sessions for students and parents. The event gives you and your family the chance to learn more about the CCU community and CCU Athletics, while providing opportunities for you to meet other athletes and their families. Following Athlete Welcome, student-athletes will participate in the Athletics Retreat.

On August 21-24, students-athletes will join the rest of the incoming class for CCU’s Weekend of Welcome (WOW), a required orientation tradition for all new students which takes place the weekend before the start of fall classes.

It is important to note that you need to register for the Athlete Welcome in conjunction with Weekend of Welcome. Please complete the online registration form by August 8. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Student Activities office.
