Every year, we welcome the hundreds of newly-arrived first-year and transfer students to our campus home. As a part of the broader Bear Beginnings programming, the WashU Department of Sociology will be hosting a departmental Open House on Tuesday, August 29, 2025 from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. in Seigle Hall, Suite 213.

During this event, incoming students will have the opportunity to meet with Sociology faculty, staff, and current students and learn more about the countless opportunities available through our program. Bring your friends and bring your curiosity - find out exactly why students have claimed us to be the "hidden gem" of the University. 

(Join us later in the day for a Faculty Spotlight, highlighting Prof. Darwin Baluran. More details to come!)

Questions prior to the event? Or, just want to get a head start in exploring the possibilities that WashU Sociology can present? Check out our website or contact our Academic Coordinator!
