This following is the 2010 Welcome Week/Campus Connections schedule.
Welcome Week/Campus Connections is Potomac State College's way of welcoming and orienting new and returning students to campus. By participating, you will socialize with other students and hopefully, you will get to know some of the faculty and staff who will be your guides to academic and personal success.
The activities and events are open to all students, whether you commute from home or if you reside in one of the College's residence halls.
