The mission of the UHS Office of Health Promotion is to provide accurate and comprehensive education about health and wellness for the UMBC campus community.

Our vision is to create a culture in which all members of the UMBC community have the information and skills they need to make responsible, well-informed decisions regarding their health and well-being while at UMBC and throughout their lives. We are committed to ongoing assessment and evaluation in search of innovative methods to pursue our vision. We cover the topics of:

  • Healthy Relationships
  • Stress Management and Relaxation Techniques
  • Nutrition and Exercise
  • Eating Disorders
  • STI and HIV/AIDS Education
  • Sexual and Reproductive Health
  • Sexual Assault
  • And many more!
