UMB Welcomes New International Students from Around the World
On August 13, the Office of International Services held a Zoom orientation with a welcome from Roger Ward, Interim Provost/Executive Vice President and Dean of the Graduate School, and Amy Ramirez, Director of International Services with the Center for Global Engagement.
Along with a trivia contest designed to help the students learn more about Baltimore, students were able to get to know each other in small groups, including groups based on their school/program of study.
Nivedita Uday Hegdekar, former president of the University Student Government Association, encouraged the new students to get involved on campus and representatives from student organizations hosted breakout rooms for interested students. Thank you to the participating student leaders:
- Aishwarya Iyer, President, University Student Government Association
- Therwa Hamza, Muslim Student and Scholars Association
- Alicia Jiggetts, United Students of African Descent
- Rutu Valapil, International Student Organization
- Kareshma Mohanty, Indian Association
