Post and Event Promotion on myUMBC How to share and promote your announcements on myUMBC

Have you ever wanted to promote your club, group, or organization's event or announcement on the front page of myUMBC? Well, here is a quick guide on what you need to know. 


The promotion feature allows you to share content from your myUMBC group to all myUMBC users on the front page, reaching a much wider audience than if it were just posted to a group's page. This is a free feature for departments and official student organizations to use that operates on a first-come, first-served basis. 


Before you are able to promote content to the front page of myUMBC, there are a few requirements that must be met. 

  • The post or content you wish to promote must be published in an official and public myUMBC group run by a UMBC department or student organization

  • To have the option to promote content, you must be an admin of the group from which the content originates. This does not mean you have to be the creator of the post. 

  • There must be an approved thumbnail image to go along with the post

  • The content should be appropriate for all UMBC audiences

  • Content can be promoted by a group once every 3 days, and only 10 promotions can be scheduled in advance


If these requirements are met, you should have no trouble promoting your content.  


To start, you will need to create a post as normal on myUMBC, including your text, thumbnails, alt-text, and any relevant tags. After you hit publish on your post, you may have to refresh the page or navigate to the main page of your group to find the post. 


Here you should see a box on the right side with the posts analytics as well as buttons to "Edit", "Copy", "Mark Important", and "Pin". If you are an admin for this group and it qualifies as a department or official student organization, then you should see a purple button labeled "Promote".


From here, you will be able to pick which day you would like to promote your content. You will see what slots are available. Each day has 4 slots, and you have the ability to make 10 selections for promotions. 


If you wish to reserve a spot but don't have your content fully completed, you can fill a future slot with placeholder information to ensure that it won't be taken. Just make sure to update the post with your content before the date it is scheduled to be promoted or posted. 


After these are chosen, they can be managed under the "Promotions" tab on your myUMBC Group page. This page will be useful if you wish to cancel posts, make changes to future promotions, or if you signed up for slots using placeholder information.


As always, remember to look over your post to ensure all information is correct and that any approvals needed regarding posting or thumbnails are received. 


We encourage and appreciate any and all feedback from users. If you have any questions or suggestions on how to improve myUMBC, please contact B. Collier Jones at bcjones@umbc.edu or schedule a meeting on Google Calendar.

Join us for an evening of connection and thriving
Welcome back to campus, UMBC! Tonight, the Center for Democracy and Civic Life is collaborating with Student Belonging to host Thrive On, a dinner and conversation program focused on how we can support our individual and collective thriving. A catered dinner will be provided. The program will be from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. in the University Center, UC 312.

We still have spots available for the program, so if you were waiting to see what happened with the snow to sign up, now's your chance! We would appreciate if you could RSVP in advance, but we will also accept people at the door. 

To get the most out of the experience and support the group's learning together, we ask that attendees plan to arrive on time and stay for the full program. Consistent participation helps create the kind of thoughtful dialogue and connection that makes these gatherings meaningful.

If you are coming, bring a friend! If you have any questions, please feel free to email the Center for Democracy and Civic Life at civiclife@umbc.edu.

Program Agenda

Community Standards

  • Respect others and their experiences and opinions.
  • Listen to learn, including from people with whom you disagree (i.e. be open to hearing different perspectives).
  • Lean into discomfort, and know that growth sometimes means engaging with ideas that are unfamiliar, odd, and new.
  • Take responsibility for the quality of the conversation (e.g., participate but also provide space for others to participate). Be mindful of the time and space you are taking up.
  • Speak primarily from your own experiences, not from others' experiences.
  • Keep your contributions relevant to the topic.
  • Treat personal sharing by others in the circle as confidential; the learning leaves with us, but the specific stories stay behind.
  • Allow for ragged thoughts; it's okay if every thought isn't fully polished.
  • Make room for clarifications, and lead with curiosity about what people are saying; accept that communicating can be hard.

Land Acknowledgement

UMBC was established upon the land of the Piscataway and Susquehannock peoples. Over time, citizens of many more Indigenous nations have come to reside in this region. We humbly offer our respect to all past, present, and future Indigenous people connected to this place.

Join The Mosaic as we celebrate, honor, and uplift our Black and African American community. This February marks 100 Years of Black History and serves as a reminder of the impact of Black history on our country. We acknowledge the profound contributions and influence of Black and African Americans that have shaped our nation's history, while also celebrating their cultural influences, resilience, love, and service. We pay tribute to the ongoing representation, creativity, and artistic expression that enriches our communities. 


As we honor the Association for the Study of African American Life and History theme, "Century of Black History Commemorations," we reflect on a legacy of brilliance that has fundamentally shaped our country. A continued and steady reminder that Black history is a true testament of US history. ASALH states, "From Negro History Week to Black History Month, ASALH has carried forth the tradition, and the observances have become part of the warp and weft of American culture and increasingly the global community. For our 100th theme, the founders of Black History Month urge us to explore the impact and meaning of Black history and life commemorations in transforming the status of Black peoples in the modern world." (Association for the Study of African American Life and History). For more information about ASALH 2026 Black History Month, click here. 


National recognition may have arrived in 1976, yet the legacy of Black excellence has always been woven into the fabric of our society. We celebrate not just the milestones of the past, but also the vibrant culture and creativity of the present. For The Mosaic, 'Inclusive Excellence' means ensuring this celebration isn't confined to a single month. We remain committed to honoring and elevating the history and ongoing contributions of the Black and African American community year-round.


Throughout February, join our UMBC community in celebrating with events and programs. Consider connecting with one of our many student organizations, such as BSU, BGSO, the Association for Black Artists, and the African Student Association, for more events!

Black Excellence Summit

Friday, February 6, 2026

Our 2026 theme, "Roots of Success: Grounded in Community," highlights our foundational belief in the indispensable power of building and maintaining a shared community. We deeply value the rich diversity among our students, staff, and faculty, which is a key source of UMBC's strength. However, the reality for some of our community members, particularly those who are Black, often feel a gap in a shared cultural or racial community. To honor our theme, we aim to cultivate an environment where Black students, staff, and community members are not only heard and seen but also feel grounded in our shared community. Through the Black Excellence Summit, we are evolving the concept of Black Excellence. We hope to redefine it away from appealing to external societal norms, and instead, focus on celebrating the richness of the Black experience within our community, recognizing and fostering success in all its genuine forms.

Black History Month Discussion Panel - Black History: Under Attack, but yet Unbroken

3:30 - 5 PM | The Commons 329

In collaboration with the Department of Africana Studies and the Women's, Gender, and Equity Center, please join them for their Black History Month Discussion Panel titled "Black History: Under Attack, but yet Unbroken." This year's theme aims to highlight the current suppression of Black history and explore how censorship, distortion, and systemic narratives shape collective memory. Be part of an honest discussion to preserve Black history, resist oppression, and reclaim truth for future generations through academia.
