Tuition or Food?
Rising college costs brings challenges for students
A new Temple University survey found that thousands of college students today can’t afford basic needs like food and housing, and some even end up homeless.
Check out this feature from the NBC Today Show showcasing different faces and experiences of college student food insecurity, and just how much every bit of help truly matters.
Nationwide, a majority of students who face food insecurity are employed. They are not only working hard in classes, but also spending 20-40 hours a week working to afford their rent, with not much left for routine grocery shopping. To quote from the video: "It's sounds to me like students are coming here (to this food pantry) because they are working their butts off and this is their last hope...It's not an issue of personal responsibility."
It's no longer unusual that you go to a college campus and find a quasi- homeless shelter or food pantry supporting the campus community. Retriever Essentials aims to provide students, faculty, and staff with nonperishable food items to ease the burden of purchasing healthy staples each week. Our belief is that with less stress on how to make ends meet, students are able to focus better on their coursework and reach their fullest academic potential.

Seeking Grad Senators: CAHSS and CNMS
FYI
We currently have
no applications for senators for next year from
CNMS (Phys, Chem, Bio, Math/Stats, etc ...).
Overall, we have 15 applications. Of these, 12 are from
COIET and 3 are from
CAHSS.
We were late to the game this year, so we expected difficulty getting
all colleges represented, but--as it stands--we will have no
representation from CNMS next year.
While we aimed for the deadline
for application submission to be May 1, it's clear that we should extend
the window. If you're in CAHSS or CNMS, please encourage your peers to
apply to be a graduate senator.
Find below the original message, and feel free to send out to peers who you feel may be interested.
"""
The GSA is seeking applications for senators who will serve
throughout the next academic year. Such senators would have the
following general responsibilities as they represent either their
college or the general interests of all graduate students at UMBC:
1) Attend monthly meetings of the Graduate Senate between August 2019 and May 2020.
2)
Work with other senators to host no fewer than four town halls between
August 2019 and May 2020 aimed at gathering input and feedback from
graduate students
3) Serve on at least one university committee
4) Other tasks as assigned by the Graduate Senate or Executive Council (such as following up on an issue or comment)
Senators who fulfill these responsibilities will be eligible to receive a stipend of $200 per semester.
For more information on the structure of the Graduate
Senate and what it does, please see the GSA webpage (
gsa.umbc.edu) and the attached document.
Our goal is to engage passionate student leaders in a sustainable and impactful way. The main role of the Student Ambassador position is to create and sustain connections
between Retriever Essentials and the broader student body and campus community.
The Retriever Essentials Student Leadership Board contributes to the vision of
Retriever Essentials by promoting Retriever Essentials events, engaging the
UMBC community, and fulfilling essential pantry-operation tasks including
collecting and inventorying donations, and packing and delivering food bags.
Ambassadors can also assist with the design and facilitations of workshops
addressing the stigma of food insecurity, community dinners, food drives, and
other engaging outreach events. This means that it is essential for all
Ambassadors to demonstrate strong leadership skills, to be team-oriented, and
to be willing to contribute to the vision of the Retriever Essentials Advisory
Board.
Do you know any students who would be a great fit for our Student Leadership Board? Send them our way!
Are you a student with at least 1 more year on campus who is interested in strengthening the outreach of Retriever Essentials while gaining important leadership experience? Apply today!
Application information is attached. Any questions and/or application materials can be sent to
retrieveressentials@umbc.edu. Application deadline is Friday May 10 at 5pm.
