Orientation helps first-year students and their families feel welcomed, supported and connected to the UMW community
June marks the arrival of the Class of 2029 for summer orientation, a pivotal experience designed to help first-year students and their families feel welcomed, supported and connected to the UMW community.
Faculty and staff are invited to play a role in the important tradition by volunteering to greet and assist new students and their supporters. Whether offering directions, answering questions or simply providing a warm smile, employees help set the tone for an inclusive and engaging college experience.
Volunteer shifts are still available online. Sign up for a time that works for you and wear UMW-branded clothing and your name tag. A “Ask Me Anything: button will be provided. Location suggestions are listed in the sign-up, but feel free to statin yourself wherever your help is most needed. A reminder will be sent before your shift.
Orientation sessions run on the following dates:
- June 5-6
- June 9-10
- June 12-13
- June 17-18
- June 23-24
