Husky Orientation and Welcome Leaders, or H.O.W.L.'s as we affectionately refer to them, are highly trained student leaders whose job is to help new students adjust to life at Bloomsburg University. There are more than 60 spirited and talented HOWLs who will serve as your personal hosts and share their experiences, tips and strategies for success.
HOWLs range from rising sophomores to seniors and cover nearly every major offered at BU. They live on and off-campus and are each involved in an average of at least three other student organizations on campus. Each of the HOWLs are individually unique yet collectively united and work on making this the best transition for each student by welcoming you in true Husky fashion.

Welcome Week begins once all first year students have moved to campus.

Bloomsburg’s First-Year Experience Center is dedicated to making your transition to college life success. The Center works closely with the Jump Start and New Student Orientation programs, as well as BU's Learning Communities, Academic Advisement, and the First-Year Seminar courses for incoming students. These First-Year Seminars lay the foundation for your future academic success — covering study skills, time management, and cultural diversity.
