Greetings!
We are excited to welcome you to your first semester as a UMES GradHawk!
Please join us for our mandatory new graduate student orientation on Thursday, August 22, 2024, from 9:00am – 2:00pm in Room 1088 of the Engineering and Aviation Science Complex (EASC). The new graduate student orientation will be in person and virtual and will contain a wealth of useful information for incoming students. A designated tab has been created on the website at www.umes.edu/grad for orientation labeled “New Student Orientation.”
Please register for orientation using the following link: https://wwwcp.umes.edu/grad/orientation/ Lunch will be provided and a campus tour for those who sign up when they register.
Note that this WILL BE an in-person orientation. Accommodations will be made ONLY for our weekend, online and off-campus programs such as Education Leadership, Organizational Leadership, Career and Technology Education and Cybersecurity Engineering Technology.

“Staying healthy is key to success in graduate school. Regular self-care time are not only fun but also an effective way to de-stress.”

“Explore life outside of grad school. Although your time on campus is dedicated to obtaining your degree, you also need time to engage in other aspects outside of academia. Consider joining the Graduate Student Government.”
Zoe Johnson, Ph.D. Graduate, Toxicology (May 2022)
“Learning is fun, learning is tough too, but at UMES the support of our community – faculty, staff and other students bridges the gap that leads to success!”
