Ranger Welcome Welcome from First Year Experience: Ranger Welcome is two days that are full of ways to get connected, learn campus, and prepare for classes. We have provided a schedule of events that will help you become more familiar with the University’s mission, academic life, campus community and involvement, as well as introduce you to a few of your new classmates. Its purpose is to make you a UW-Parkside Ranger! If you have questions just ask any of the many students, faculty members and staff that are here to welcome you to campus. One things to know about this year’s Ranger Welcome: It’s interactive! • If you have a smart phone scan the bar codes and read about the different offices, people, and programs. • Follow UW-Parkside on Twitter. • Use the Hash Tag #RangerWelcome. • Follow FYE on Facebook: UW-Parkside First Year Experience. • Bookmark the FYE website: www.uwp.edu keyword: First Year Experience Welcome to UW-Parkside and enjoy the beginning of your first year!

Tuesday, September 6th Welcome from the Provost Dear Students, I would like to welcome you all to the University of Wisconsin Parkside. Today you begin a journey toward a bachelor’s degree which will prepare you success for in work, life and citizenship. We realize that there are many reasons that you have chosen to go to college, high among those reasons may be your hope for meaningful work in your chosen career. Yet by embarking on this journey toward a four year degree, you will be getting much more than job training. You will be getting an education, which is why we require to take courses that are outside of your major, and I encourage to approach these courses with an attitude of wonder and curiosity. You will receive a lot of advice in the coming weeks about how to succeed in college. That’s because all of us at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside are committed to helping you succeed. We have a great celebration planned for your graduation day and I hope to see you all there in a few years. Good luck to you all! Provost Terry Brown
