Student Caregiver Study

Student Caregiver Study Calling all Caregivers your voice is needed!

We are excited to announce that UMBC is participating in a research study to understand the experiences of informal (unpaid) student caregivers. An informal caregiver is someone who provides assistance with activities such as transportation, shopping, finances, bathing or dressing to a spouse, family member, friend or neighbor. Researchers are interested in understanding what

challenges students face while being a caregiver and what resources are most helpful to reach academic goals. You will receive an email in the next few weeks containing a link to the short survey. The survey should take less than five (5) minutes to complete.

Student caregiver participation will contribute greatly to our understanding of caregivers and help us identify new resources to assist students achieve their academic goals while being a caregiver.

Student caregiver participation is greatly appreciated to support this important research!

The Survey can be found in an email sent today (9/20/22) titled: "Shape UMBC's Future - Your Voice Needed"

Thank you,

The OCSS TEAM

What: Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) are voluntary and facilitated by fellow UMBC graduate students
Who: WAGs are comprised of a group of graduate students (usually 4-8 participants per group) interested in developing writing habits and accountability
Why: Develop habits of writing every day for a short, manageable period of time by setting goals and being accountable to WAG peers
When: WAG groups meet once a week for 60-90 minutes for 10-12 weeks. The group finds a weekly time mutually convenient to all group members.
Where: The group decides on a mutually convenient location to meet, whether in person or online via WebEx or other video conferencing platform

Based on the outcome of our poll, our next meetup will be on 10/01/2022.

Topic: immigration options for graduate students.

Time: 6pm

Venue: A Senegalese restaurant in Baltimore.

Nailah’s Kitchen, 5722 York Rd Baltimore, MD 21212

Two in-house resources have confirmed attendance.

Since that date is Nigerian independence, do you think it will be a good idea to wear a touch of white or green? You don't need to buy new clothes, please. Attendance is still okay even if you do not have the colors.

Thank you.

Good afternoon Retrievers!

As you may have heard, on Monday, September 5, Baltimore City sent out an advisory for some residents to boil their water in response to the detection of E. coli in samples of the water supply to West Baltimore.

While the UMBC campus was not included in the advisory, we know that we have a large number of students who are living off campus and want to share information on what to do and where to find water if you are living in an impacted area. General information is also available from the Centers for Disease Control. You can also check the Department of Public Works social media platforms, Twitter (@BaltimoreDPW), and Facebook, for updates as this situation develops.

If any updates from this situation arise we will continue to share information with you.

For questions email us at: ocss@umbc.edu

All the best,

OCSS
