Devonte on why the New Student Welcome was awesome:

Forming the human interlocking UB at the New Student Welcome with thousands of other new students made me feel a part of something way bigger than myself – both literally and figuratively. It felt like a symbolic moment that officially introduced me into the university. On top of that, I got to connect with the people who happened to be near me and am still friends with them to this day!”

Ethan’s pick of the optional events during Welcome Weekend:

O R I E N T A T I O NL E A D E R

S P O T L I G H T

Campus Fest was awesome because I found the club True Blue, which I am still involved with today! At Campus Fest, you can meet and interact with clubs and organizations as well as sign up to receive emails from the ones that interest you. Campus Fest was a step outside my comfort zone, but a great way to get connected on campus!”

Emma’s advice to make UB feel like “home” during the first weekend:

O R I E N T A T I O NL E A D E R

S P O T L I G H T

Meeting people was something that I was really nervous about at first, so I pushed myself to start with the people I lived near. Small interactions like leaving my door open and saying hi to people in the halls helped me build a community in the residence halls. I also went to lots of Welcome Weekend events with my roommate; it was nice to lean on that built-in friend!”
