Welcome to ASU! We’ve got a full week of activities designed to kick off your Sun Devil journey. From opportunities to learn about campus and meet your new classmates to exploring Downtown LA there’s something for everyone to connect, have fun, and find their community. Use the events as an opportunity to explore campus, get to know where you’re going and meet other new students along the way.
California Center Welcome
Aug. 15-24, 2026
Before You Start:
Your professors have experience in the fields that you want to go in; therefore, maintaining good relationships with your professors is a great way to network.
