Hello out there! It seems appropriate that we pick back up with our blog posts with this year’s Homecoming celebration–aptly themed “Retriever Fever!” Careful–it’s contagious!

One of UMBC’s Homecoming traditions is the campus-wide office decorating contest, which makes it a super fun time to visit. Every office on campus is welcome to participate and many go all out to get everyone geared up for all of the great events. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions decided to go with the House of Grit and recognize all the types of retrievers you can find within our house.

First step–find out what kind of Retriever you are with some help from the “Sorting Bone.”

Then, learn the tools of the trade; are you a Maker? A Solver? An Explorer? A Thinker? Or, a Uniter?

Finally, take pride in your house! Of course at UMBC that means paw prints and dog bones for everyone! And it means that “being in the dog house” is actually the best thing ever!
