Hello!

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!

If so, here’s your chance to apply for 2022-2023 Commuter students have two ways to apply for 2022-2023 housing: Housing Selection process or the Housing Interest Application.

Housing Selection 

Participation in the Housing Selection process guarantees students housing for the 2022-2023 academic year and allows you to choose your roommates and room.  As a commuter you must meet the following criteria to be issued the Housing Selection application: 

  • Currently enrolled: You must be actively enrolled as a full-time student for the Spring 2022 semester.

  • COVID Compliant: Students must be in compliance with UMBC COVID-19 expectations, this includes the booster requirement. Check your COVID Compliance Card on myUMBC.

  • Good Financial Standing: If you have an outstanding balance greater than $250 you will not be eligible to complete the application until you clear your bill with Student Business Services. 

  • Complete a “Commuter Pass” with a current resident between March 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

If you meet the above criteria you will be issued the Housing Selection Application which you will need to submit by April 1, 2022 at 5PM.  Please review the 2022-2023 Housing Selection Guide to learn more about the Housing Selection process.

Housing Interest Application

The Housing Interest Application will be made available to all commuters on April 6, 2022. Students who complete the Housing Interest Application will be added to the housing wait list.  Unlike the Housing Selection process, students on the housing waitlist are not guaranteed housing.  

If you are on the waitlist you will be contacted via UMBC email if and when a space becomes available. A housing offer would be sent electronically to the student’s UMBC email as early as mid-May. Students who accept their offer by completing the license (contract) and reservation fee are guaranteed housing for the upcoming license term. Offers are made based on the availability of space. Students will remain on the waitlist until we are able to make them an offer.

To learn more about on-campus housing for current students please visit https://reslife.umbc.edu/apply/currentstudents/.

For questions, stop by the Residential Life Office in Erickson Hall (Monday-Friday between 8:30am and 5pm), call 410-455-2591, or submit an RT Ticket.

Tuesday, March 8, 2022 · 2:30 - 3 PM

Join Online Event

This event is open to all UMBC members! Particularly for graduate students, postdocs, and early-career faculty from underrepresented backgrounds.

 

This is Dr. Hrabowski’s last talk as UMBC President for the PROMISE AGEP program at UMBC. He has mentored hundreds of graduate students and successfully helped them finish their degrees at UMBC. He has celebrated every single dissertation defense with us and has been there every step of the way following on students hardships through the years; stopping to say hi to everyone on his way to multiple events and meetings, always asking how they are doing, when we talk about Dr. Hrabowski’s leadership approach we must say “it’s all about the people”. We’ll miss him dearly and we hope this event serves to honor his legacy at UMBC.

 

In the words of University System of Maryland (USM) Board of Regents Chair Linda Gooden: “People seek out Freeman’s advice because they understand that, in many ways, he’s set the standard for supporting students to success—and I mean all students: students from every background, every race and ethnicity, every income level. He’s set the standard for collaborative leadership and continuous organizational improvement.”

 

According to NSF data, UMBC is now the nation’s top producer of Black graduates who go on to obtain a Ph.D. in the natural sciences and engineering. All this has been thanks to the visionary leadership of Dr. Hrabowski and we hope you join us in this talk with a national leader in science and math education, to celebrate his more than 30 years of leadership in academia, let’s use this opportunity to help path our own leadership style and learn from one of the best. Looking forward to seeing you there.

 

If you need any accommodations or have questions please contact PROMISE Staff a promise@umbc.edu at least a week before the event date.

We are working on creating a series of student videos, featuring undergraduate and graduate students, to support Retriever Integrated Health's (RIH) Reach Out Retrievers initiative. Reach Out Retrievers is the first step (hopefully with many more steps to follow) in making a campus commitment to supporting and improving the mental health of our entire campus community. These pieces will be shared during the month of April on RIH and other campus partner social media pages. Additionally, these videos will  be paired with information about online mental health tools that students can take advantage of right now. 

There are three ways to participate: 
  • Send a video 
  • Send an audio recording
  • Provide a written submission
In the submission, we would like for students to use the following questions to guide their thoughts:
  • How has your mental health changed since you started at UMBC?
    • If needed, what did you do to handle those changes?
  • What do you wish you would have done differently to support your mental? OR What are you happy that you have done to support your mental health?
  • What would you say to others with your same mental health experience?
If submitting a video or audio recording, here are some things to consider:
  • Videos and audio recordings should be between 30 and 60 seconds
  • Students are welcome to use their phone to record  (preferably with the front-facing camera) 
  • Students are welcome to share their name, graduation year, and  major in the recording. 
    • If a student does not feel comfortable sharing this information, they do not have to include it in the recording
  • The videos don't need to be very polished
If providing a written submission, please students can include their name, graduation year, and  major. 
  • If a student does not feel comfortable sharing this information, they do not have to include it in the submission (the submission will be shared as quotes) 
If you know a student that would be willing to participate, please have them email Samantha Smith (samsmith@umbc.edu) to confirm participation. You are welcome to forward this message along to others.

Please upload your submission here by Thursday, March 3. 

Thank you so much for your help. 

If you have any questions, please let me know. 

Best
Retriever Integrated Health (RIH)
