Happy homecoming! We hope to CYA at the alumni tent today :)
Here’s a message from one of our members, Joseph!
Hello UMBC! I am Joseph Wong ’14. I am currently traveling and was not able to attend homecoming, but wanted to emphasize that you can achieve what you pursue/desire to be and also being dynamic and agile on your goals and accomplishments! I could not be more than proud people are together again today! I will be at next year’s homecoming and will be sure to see many of you there. Until then…UM! BC! Go Retrievers!!
