TerrapinSTRONG Onboarding

TerrapinSTRONG onboarding is the first doorway through which all new Terps enter the university. It sets a tone of belonging and community. The TerrapinSTRONG onboarding course is organized into five modules. Each module includes a video, written content and an activity. At the end of the five modules, new Terps create an action plan on ways they will stay involved. Those who complete the course will receive a welcome gift of a free scoop of ice cream at the Maryland Dairy. 

Current faculty, staff and students can begin the onboarding here.

You must have a directory ID to enroll. Employees who do not have computer work stations or would benefit from an in-person delivery of the material can register to attend an existing TerrapinSTRONG In-Person Session via Workday Learning.

Each new undergraduate and graduate student, staff and faculty member participates in TerrapinSTRONG campus onboarding as part of their orientation to the University of Maryland. Following this experience, which opens a door to the University of Maryland and the TerrapinSTRONG vision, new Terps are further welcomed by colleges, divisions and unit leaders providing more opportunities to become TerrapinSTRONG.
