On behalf of all of us in the Division of Student Affairs, congratulations on your acceptance to WashU! We are here to help you prepare for your arrival on campus.
The Bear Bulletin is a monthly newsletter sent to all first-year students. It contains important information about move-in, deadlines and orientation which we call “Fall Welcome.” Please note, the Bear Bulletin will be sent only to your WashU email account beginning June 1.
Check out this month's Bear Bulletin below to learn more!

Student Transitions & Engagement supports new students through their academic and social transition into the WashU community. We have a group of current WashU students called “WUSAs” (WashU Student Associates, pronounced "woo-sah"); they work in our office and host weekly gatherings in your residence hall throughout your first year.
