Welcome to Wake Forest University
Connect@Wake will allow new international undergraduate students to explore the Wake Forest campus and resources during a time when the campus is fairly quiet. The ISS team will provide activities for new international students to engage with campus faculty and staff and learn more about the common spaces that students use on campus. Students will also complete the required immigration orientation and check-in which assist international students to maintain their visa status.
All meals will be provided by ISS and students will be able to move into their fall housing on Saturday, August 19, 2023, between 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. We look forward to meeting new students, welcoming you on campus, and helping you to get settled.
