Belton, Texas – On Wednesday, August 16, nearly 700 incoming freshmen traveled to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor campus for the start of this year’s Welcome Week. Throughout the week, students will move into their dorms, participate in group activities, and become a part of the Mary Hardin-Baylor family.
Organizers say this year’s Welcome Week is one of the largest in UMHB history, as this year’s freshmen enrollment appears to be on track to once again set a record.
Below is a schedule of all this year’s Welcome Week events. These events are not open to the public, but members of the media are welcome to attend.
