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!
