Whether you’re spending the summer at home, on campus, traveling, interning, or simply catching up with friends, Retrievers Read brings back a familiar summer tradition, with a grown-up twist. Think back to those grade school summer reading lists: books chosen to spark curiosity, stretch your thinking, and mark the season’s passing. Now, as part of the UMBC community, this is your version of that same tradition: an easy, nostalgic way to stay connected to campus life and the Retriever community between semesters, wherever summer takes you.
