Summer Donations Thank you for your continued support! We are so grateful that our campus community is continuing with their gracious donations throughout these summer months! Special thanks to the advisors of freshman orientation-- you filled up the donation box so quickly! We couldn't operate without these donations. 

As we gear up for the arrival of the new school year, we are in need of the following items to restock our shelves:
  • Beans- black, chickpea, kidney, pinto
  • Pasta sauce- please no glass jars!
  • Brown rice
  • Fruit- in its own juice if possible!
  • Vegetables- anything but corn! Think carrots, green vegetables, potatoes, etc.
  • Breakfast foods- unsweetened/low sugar cereals, oatmeal, granola bars
Our tall, yellow donations bins can be found in the bottom floor of the Administration Building, the AOK Atrium, and near the Commons front desk.

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions please contact Lauren at lakataja@umbc.edu.

Commuter Assistants must maintain a 2.5GPA prior to and during employment with OCSS.

Transfer Assistants
Through a series of workshops and activities, Transfer Assistants help prospective, incoming, and current transfer student's transition to UMBC. Transfer Assistants along with many UMBC/OCSS resources, connect transfer students with like interests, and provide a network community for building social and career-minded relationships.

Transfer Assistant Duties
"Serve as a role model to off-campus and on-campus transfer students. 
"Develop peer-mentoring relationships with assigned students before, during, and after their transition.

Transfer Assistants must maintain a 2.5GPA prior to and during employment with OCSS.

Training
OCSS student staff must attend training sessions prior to the fall and spring semesters.  Student staff will be expected to assist during Welcome Week- the last weekend before classes.  Student staff will work an average of 5-10hours per week, as well as attend weekly team specific meetings on Fridays at 12pm.  If you are unable to attend the training or meet this time commitment, you cannot serve as an OCSS student staff member.
