January SOAR
January 9, 2026
The advising portion of SOAR (Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration) returns to College Library from January 13-15, 2026. The goal of SOAR is to help those new to UW-Madison:
- Gain exposure to the array of academic and social opportunities on campus.
- Begin to integrate into university life and UW–Madison culture.
- Think about what they would like their Wisconsin Experience to be.
- Gain an understanding of university policies, procedures, and processes.
With designated rooms on all three floors of the library, new students and those transferring from other institutions are welcomed by ten different advising units.
