We welcome groups to visit campus. Group visits are often arranged for programs such as GearUp, Upward Bound, Talent Search and high schools, and we welcome the opportunity to assist other groups in their visit to campus. We can help arrange visits to fit the needs of most organizations. Age-appropriate activities can be arranged for your group to learn more about UM and the college admissions process.
