Enter your Woolie group! Woolie groups are led by 1-2 Woolies, or Welcome Week Leaders. These students are involved on campus, connected to resources, and are passionate about helping new Retrievers find their home within our community. You will get an email with your group assignment and a link to meet by January 24, 2021.

Your Woolie group will be hosted on WebEx Teams. Please be sure to install the app on your devices. There will be a series of check ins with your group throughout Winter Welcome Week, and the platform will remain available to you to continue to ask questions, share information, and stay connected with your group members throughout the semester. The other students in your group are also new to UMBC, and likely in your same or a similar area of study.

For any questions or concerns regarding your Woolie group, please contact welcomeweek@umbc.edu.
