Emails
- The emails from ODK national headquarters seem to be going to everyone's spam folder. Please mark any email from "@odk.org" as safe in your UMBC and personal inbox so you can receive the information necessary from them.
Dues
- In order to be initiated, you are required to pay the $94 national dues through the online portal.
- We were able to get an extension for our Circle so you have until December 1, 2025 to pay those dues.
- If the dues are financially impossible for you at this time, there are a few options. You can delay your initiation until next semester (if you are not graduating) and join the chapter at that time. The three scholarships have already been given out but I am trying hard to find more money to help support students. If you have serious concerns about finances, please send me an email.
