Our Purpose

The Purpose of student philanthropy programs is to educate, engage and excite current UMBC students about the importance and impact of supporting our alma mater after we graduate.

Educate. To educate the UMBC student body, beginning in their first year, about the importance and impact of private support for the university.

Engage. To engage students in a meaningful way, empowering them to become student leaders who strive to make a difference on campus through philanthropy and engagement and serve as ambassadors and advocates for the university.

Excite. To excite students about their experiences as undergraduate students and to look forward to becoming alumni so they continue to strengthen their lifelong connection with UMBC.
