This annual UMass Welcome event is designed to welcome new and returning students, faculty and staff to campus.  Free and open to the campus and general public, Cultural Connections is a celebration of our campus’ cultural plurality.

This year, it will be held on Wednesday, September 14 in the Campus Center Auditorium from 5:30-7:30pm.

Cultural Connections is an opportunity to connect with students, faculty and staff from across campus.  Come and learn about the four Cultural Centers on campus, connect with the cultural Registered Student Organizations (RSO) and Multicultural Greek organizations. We encourage you to attend and enjoy the performances, sample diverse cultural appetizers from around the world while networking with members of our community. Cultural Connections also features diverse cultural performers who often have UMass alumni as members. 

This event is a highlight of UMass Welcome and is well attended by students, faculty, staff, administrators and the local surrounding campus community.  

We look forward to meeting you at the Annual CMASS Cultural Connections Showcase!
