Weeks of Welcome 2025 Theme

Rodney-Con: Enter the Ram Universe!

Inspired by fan conventions like DreamCon and Comic-Con, Rodney-Con transforms WoW into a con-style celebration of VCU spirit, creativity, and connection. This theme invites students, especially new and transfer students, to step into the spotlight and begin their VCU journey by exploring campus life, forming meaningful connections, and discovering where they belong in the Ram community.

As you prepare to submit your programs, consider how your event title and format can reflect a conference-style experience, such as renaming a campus tour to something like Explore the Ram-Verse to fit the theme and engage students.

If you have any questions, please contact Bria Taylor at taylorbc7@vcu.edu or Lisa Cooper at lcooper4@vcu.edu . We thank you in advance for your participation in Weeks of Welcome and look forward to your assistance in welcoming both new and returning students to VCU!
