Schedule and Activities

There will be several workshops throughout the week of Viking Launch, which will introduce students to different campus resources, such as the Learning Commons and Campus Prevention and Wellness. These workshops will provide helpful tips on managing your physical and mental well-being in college and learning effective study skills, in order to help students build a solid foundation of knowledge and skills for academic success before fall classes begin.

Community-building activities

There will be several structured group activities to facilitate community-building with other Viking Launch participants and orient students to campus life and the surrounding community.

Class time

Due to the condensed nature of a two-credit course being covered in one week, Viking Launch students will be in class an average of 4-6 hours per day, interspersed with workshops, activities, and mealtimes. This is an action-packed week, but will assist students in being prepared for college life.

Recreational activities

There will be a group orientation to the Student Rec Center during Viking Launch, and Viking Launch students can utilize the Rec Center during their free time during the week.
