Your WOW Group is different than your Orientation group.The group you will be placed in during WOW will also be your class for theFirst Year Seminar.Every new student is placed into a group of 25 new students which will be led by a WOW Team Leader.The groups are based on where the student lives, whether they live on-campus or off campus.This group of 25 new students will also participate in the same First Year Seminar during the fall semester.
