Anderson University is gearing up to welcome its new freshman class. 

As major life events go, entering college is pretty huge, but we at Anderson University have a message for all new Trojans:  

“You’ve got this.” 

Part of the AU culture is for new students to quickly feel they belong to a community—that’s everyone’s job. They’ll quickly get to know returning Anderson University students, as well as faculty and staff. 

Welcome Week, August 16-24, 2024, marks the beginning of an exciting academic and personal journey. It’s a chance to meet a lot of new friends and have lots of fun in the process.  

Welcome Week is jam-packed with activities celebrating the 2024-25 academic year, ending up literally with a bang as an incredible fireworks show takes place at Spero Financial Field during the Big Welcome Event  

And as a new student, you don’t need to worry about having everything figured out. Everyone is helpful and approachable.

There are also resources available online 24/7. 

On social media, a good place to start is by checking out Anderson University’s official Instagram account, @andersonunivsc. Other great accounts to follow include AU Student Activities, @au411 and AU First Year Experience, @aufirstyear. There’s always advice to help make the transition to college life easier and worry-free. There you can find out from other students things like tips for decorating dorm rooms and places to plug in and get to know more people.
