Weeks of Welcome 

Weeks of Welcome

The purpose of Weeks of Welcome is to afford students an opportunity to "get to know" the NSU main campus by familiarizing themselves with the location of the various student service offices. Operating as a passport/stamp system, students may start at any student services office, pick up a passport, then travel to the different student service offices, obtaining a stamp at each location. For every designated office visited, the student will receive a stamp. Each stamp is worth one ticket (max. 18 tickets) in the drawing.

The student must be present at SHARKAPALOOZA in order to be entered into the drawing and win the prizes.

SHARKAPALOOZA is a large event located in the Don Taft University Center that brings clubs and organizations together to give students opportunities to get involved on campus.  At SHARKAPALOOZA, students turn in their passports and received a raffle ticket for every stamp that they collected. With the raffle tickets, students were eligible to win gift certificates, electronics, and a grand prize.

How to Play

Students may pick up their passport books in any centralized student service office. All participants are subject to the rules and regulations as published in their passports.

The contest ends at SHARKAPALOOZA. For more information, contact the Office of Student Activities at (954) 262-7288 or union@nova.edu.
