Ready, Set, Go! 100 Opportunities for Success
The Welcome Center has provided 100 virtual sessions in order to give students as many opportunities to attend each session at their own pace. Students can attend as many sessions as they would like, however, they are encouraged to attend at least one of each session. To complete the Ready, Set, Go! series, students should attend 11 total sessions (one session each, not including the Tuition Pledge Programs sessions exclusively for pledge program recipients or the optional Drop-In Sessions available to all students who desire additional one-on-one support). Get Ready, Set, and Go to each session to get crucial information about your journey at Wayne State University!
