perform, and serve the University. The campus community is welcome to perform in any of the performing groups and
ensembles:
• University Choir: open to all WJU students.
• University Instrumental Ensemble: open by audition to all WJU instrumentalists.
• The Way: a touring ensemble of mixed voices, open by audition to all WJU students.

Auditions may apply.
Intercollegiate Athletics
Intercollegiate athletics at WJU provides development for the body, mind, and spirit of each student athlete. It is the goal of the
Athletic Department to train athletes in sportsmanship, assist their growth in character, leadership, athletic ability, and provide
opportunities for Service. More important than wins and losses, student-athletes are encouraged to develop an ability to promote
Christ through sport both locally and globally.
Athletic programs include varsity intercollegiate teams in Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Soccer, Cross Country, Track & Field,
Men’s Golf, Women’s Volleyball, and Women’s Softball. The University is a member of the NAIA (National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics), competing in the Cal Pac (California Pacific) Conference.
New Student Orientation – Traditional Students
Transition to University life is filled with many significant changes and challenges. In order to help students make these changes,
the New Student Orientation program introduces students and their families to the WJU community, campus facilities, campus
services, and most importantly, to fellow students and WJU staff. We believe the development of meaningful and healthy
relationships is a key to making a smooth transition into the university experience. The orientation program helps develop strong
friendships, which often last a lifetime and provide the support needed for the tougher moments of life. During the week of New
Student Orientation, required of all new students enrolled in six or more units, students will be involved in a welcome dinner,
worship, community service project, and various interactive activities. Student leadership members play a vital role in New
Student Orientation by facilitating directed programming, sharing their personal college experiences, and building relationships
with new students.
Student Life Office
The goal of the Student Life Office is to facilitate opportunities beyond the classroom experience that will impact a student’s
social, personal, physical, and spiritual development. We believe that the development of relationships and the building of
community are essential elements of the overall educational experience and will aid in both success at the University and success
in life. As such, we encourage students to benefit from involvement and participation in campus community activities and
programs aimed to assist in the development of relationships and provide experiences that will reinforce the value and
importance of community involvement and service.
The Student Life Offices are the focal point of all departments and programs within the Division of Student Development. Here
students will find the offices for the Vice President for Student Development, Associate Dean of Students, Residence Life, Student
Activities, Student Leadership, and Athletics.
In addition to our primary goal, a number of services are also provided through the Student Life Office:
1. Distribution of student identification cards.
2. Determination of Chapel attendance and Service completion.
