You can check out the video for the First Year Commuter Retreat here:
The Commuter Retreat is designed to support you and your transition from high school to the UMBC Community. At UMBC, we value relationships, connecting with others and building community. This is a special opportunity for you to ignite your own creativity and leadership, while forming lasting friendships.
The retreat is an all day event from 9am-5pm with free food and transportation. Students who have participated have said things like:
“I met my best friend at the Commuter Retreat — I'm so glad I attended!”
“It was a great opportunity to meet new students and feel connected.”
“After attending this retreat, I feel like a part of the UMBC community.”
