It's an opportunity for the Westminster community to formally welcome you, recognize the importance of your educational work, and vocalize a commitment to supporting you as you pursue your education. You'll hear from a variety of leaders on campus, including the college president, provost, and student body president, and have the opportunity to bond with your fellow classmates as you begin this momentous journey together.
Alma Mater
We sing to Alma Mater
with reverent hearts and true.
Beneath the Wasatch mountains,
skies of azure blue.
Oh may thy men and women
e’er pledge their love to thee.
To our Westminster College,
we sing this song to thee!
