Welcome Week is designed to provide our incoming students with opportunities to become familiar with campus resources, engage with the campus and Manhattan community, and kick-start their educational journey.
Don't miss out on the excitement during Welcome Week!
Kick off your first day with energy and support. Stop by a Welcome Station starting at 7:30 AM for free coffee, your class schedule, campus map, and MATC swag. Have questions? Just ask — we’re here to help!
Strike a pose at the First-Day Photo Booth (9 AM–1 PM) and snap a pic with our MATC-themed backdrop. Share your shot with #MATCWelcomeWeek!
Feeling stuck with tech? Drop by our Tech Check Station (2–4 PM) for hands-on help with email, Wi-Fi, Canvas, and more.
Start your day right with a quick stop at a Welcome Station (7:30 AM) for coffee and conversation.
Then grab a slice and some skills at our Quick-Stop Workshops + Pizza (11:30 AM–12:30 PM in Rooms 401 & 402). Each mini session is packed with tips to help you thrive:
Join us for a free Welcome BBQ (11 AM–1 PM)! Hang out with friends and employees over music, cornhole, giant Jenga, ladder toss, and lunch on us. Tables will be set up to explore campus and local resources.
Visit the “Why I Chose MATC” Wall and leave your mark — share why you’re here and what inspires you.
Need your Student ID or Parking Pass? Swing by the Welcome Desk from 3–4 PM to get it taken care of.
Fuel up with free coffee and snacks (8:30–10 AM) in the Commons — breakfast bars, coffee mix-ins, and printed success tips to-go.
Need a breather? Our all-day Chill Zone in the Teaching & Learning Center is your go-to space to relax with board games, coloring, a movie, and popcorn. No pressure, just peace.
