Welcome to UMBC!

Welcome to UMBC! Get connected with your Woolie Group!

Welcome to UMBC! We are so glad you're here, and hope Welcome Week will reinforce that you chose the right place, even in a weird time.

Each new student will be assigned to a Woolie Group led by one or two Welcome Week Leaders, fondly known as Woolies. Your Woolie Group is your central hub for adjusting to life as a Retriever. This group will serve as your space to:

- Meet other new students

- Connect with student leaders such as your Woolie(s)

- Attend virtual meetings and events

- Access the Welcome Week calendar

- Chat with your group members via your WebEx Team

You will receive an email notification once you are added to a group. Follow the link in that email to head over to myUMBC and start exploring all that your group has to offer! You can also access your group by signing into myUMBC, choosing “Groups” at the top, and looking for your group on the right side of the page.

Your first Woolie Group meeting is Friday, August 21 at 7:30pm via WebEx. Your Woolie(s) will have your full meeting schedule posted in your group.

Take a look around, make sure you have WebEx downloaded on your devices, and get ready to have some fun!

If you do not receive an email, or do not see your Woolie Group under “Groups” on your myUMBC dashboard, please contact Hallie Crawford, halliec@umbc.edu, for support. ]]>

It's the right place, at a weird time. While things on campus look a little different than we are used to right now, we want to reassure you that you chose the right place, despite the weird time.

As we prepare to welcome our new and returning retrievers to campus - the physical space, the community, and our virtual environments - be sure to check back to this page and welcomeweek.umbc.edu for updates and information.

As a new student, you can expect outreach from current students, faculty, and staff; information on virtual group activities; suggested transition workshops, videos, modules, and resources; and opportunities to meet other new students.

In the meantime, feel free to send any questions or concerns to welcomeweek@umbc.edu and a Campus Life staff member will get back with you as soon as possible!

Good Evening Incoming Retrievers,

Tomorrow is UMBC's New Student Convocation 2018. Unfortunately, it looks like the heat index for tomorrow is 105 degrees. For your safety, we have decided to CANCEL the Convocation Line Up scheduled for 2:45 p.m. in Lot 4! Convocation will still take place at the UMBC Event Center and is required for ALL Incoming students. Please bring your Red Card ID!

Welcome Week Leaders will be instructed to bring you DIRECTLY TO CONVOCATION. Please plan to be in front of the building by 3:00 p.m. to begin filing into the UMBC Event Center!
