Get ready to kick off your semester with a weekend full of excitement, energy, and River Hawk pride!

Whether you're new to campus or coming back for another year, the first weekend of WoW is your chance to immerse yourself in the UMass Lowell community with unforgettable events designed to help you connect, explore, and have fun before classes start.

What’s in store?

Get ready for a night of mystery and laughter at our comedy-magic show, cheer on your fellow River Hawks during exciting Division I athletic events and enjoy the sun with giant water slides and lawn games. 

Keep the fun going with a live DJ, hit the lanes for bowling night, and connect with new friends through community builders and interactive workshops. 

Whether you're here for the games, the music, or just the good vibes, create an environment where everyone feels welcome, makes connections, and begins their journey on a high note at UMass Lowell.

Find your people. Discover your place. Start your story.
