Undergraduate Orientation

Welcome WeeK 2012

August 25 - September 2

You might be wondering "what is welcome week?" Well, it's a continuation of your Orientation to UMBC. There is no way to give you all of the information you need to be successful at UMBC in one day, so Welcome Week is designed to follow up on your summer orientation day. Over the course of the week, you will have the opportunity to learn more about campus and what your life as a UMBC student will be like. You and your classmates will be assigned to a Woolie (welcome week leader), who will serve as a guide and resource for you during the Welcome Week program. Your Woolie will review the entire schedule of events with you and meet up with your group prior to each session so you can go to the events together. Your Woolie will be there to help you get acclimated to UMBC, so don't hesitate to ask him or her any questions you have.

Please check back for the Welcome Week Schedule of Events.

"My favorite part of Welcome Week was meeting tons of new people and being able to decide which events I wanted to go to. It wasn't so structured that I had no time for myself, but it was structured enough so that I felt comfortable."
