Wildcat Week is FUN!

Wildcat Week is jam packed with fun activities like group games and sports, cookouts and intentional time with your new community. You’ll also have many unique and creative opportunities to explore campus and Abilene with your Wildcat Week mentor group. Check out the full schedule here.

Wildcat Week is PURPOSEFUL!

Most importantly, Wildcat Week introduces you to some of the spiritual life opportunities you can find on campus. Worship with your new friends during special devotional gatherings or find peace and solitude at one of our many beautiful spots on campus. Our hope is that as you begin this new chapter of your life, you will experience God’s presence in new and meaningful ways.

Wildcat Week is FOR YOU!

We encourage you to dive in, get out of your comfort zone and enjoy all there is to discover. This week will help you develop deep relationships with fellow Wildcats so you can feel connected and confident as you begin your first semester as a college student.
