UMass Boston has come back to life with new and returning students. The buzz and activity on campus surely is difficult to ignore! It is an energy that my colleagues and I feed off of! The beginning of the fall semester at UMass Boston marks the promise of new beginnings, new opportunities, and a chance for us in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to forge relationships with new and prospective students.

For those of you who are new and returning students, I urge you to take a look at the Events Page on the UMass Boston website to check out what’s going on throughout campus during Welcome Week. I know you all will be busy getting to classes, but make sure you take the time to enjoy the fun stuff that’s happening too. There will be Red Sox tickets on sale, a soccer game, BBQs and a chance to meet and chat with Chancellor J. Keith Motley, to name a few.

The beginning of the fall semester also means we’ll be hitting the road recruiting at your community colleges. Be sure to keep an eye out on campus for when we are visiting and be sure to stop by and say hello!

If you would rather visit us, Open House is a great opportunity to do so. Registration for Open House 2012 is now available on the website.

Welcome back and we look forward to seeing you!
