Spring 2026 Students

Hello Yellowjackets,

Welcome back to those returning to campus and a warm welcome to any transfers joining us for spring 2026! We’re so glad to have you in the hive.

As we approach this semester, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the exciting possibilities that lie ahead. Interested in joining a student organization? Attend an interest meeting. Have an idea? Explore it. Unsure how to move forward? Reach out for support. This is your opportunity to make the most of this buzzing time.

As your coursework ramps up, I hope you also have the chance to experience campus events. Especially our Rochester Traditions! WinterFest Weekend begins our semester bookended by SpringFest Weekend in April. Our Seniors will get extended opportunities through a very special Senior Week. These shared experiences embody what makes our University so special!

Ps. Visit the CIC on the second floor of Wilson Commons for resources that can help escape the winter blues such as seasonal affective disorder (SAD) lamps and snowshoes.

Meliora,
Dean Algier
