First Day of School Celebration

Sunday, August 23, 2026, 6:00pm

Welcome Seawolves!

Tomorrow marks the first day of classes at Sonoma State! Whether it’s your very first day as a Seawolf, your final “first day” before graduation, or one of many first days you've experienced as a faculty or staff member, we’re excited to kick off the 2026-27 academic year together.

Start your Monday with some Seawolf spirit at our First Day of School Seawolf Welcome Celebration!

Monday, August 24, 2026
8-10 a.m.
Salazar Plaza (behind Toast)

Stop by on your way to class or work to:

• Snap a first-day photo at our photo station
• Enjoy complimentary coffee or tea
• Grab fruit and donuts
• Connect with fellow Seawolves and members of the campus community

Come for five minutes or stay awhile and help us fill campus with Seawolf spirit as we begin a new year together.

We can’t wait to see everyone. Here’s to a great first day and an incredible year ahead!
