]]>Dear UMBC Community,
Retriever Integrated Health is pleased to announce that the QuantiFERON (TB blood test) Clinic in partnership with Quest Diagnostics has been extended through Thursday, September 24. This extension gives more time for students, faculty, and staff to complete their TB screening right here on campus.
Extended Clinic Details
New Dates: Now through September 24
Hours: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: Center for Well-Being
No Appointment Needed – Just Walk In!
Why TB Screening Matters?
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that can affect the lungs and spread through the air. Many academic programs, clinical placements, internships, and employment opportunities require TB screening as part of their health clearance. Getting tested on campus ensures you meet these requirements conveniently and on time.
Who Should Attend?
Students with TB screening requirements for classes, programs, or internships
Faculty and staff needing a TB test for employment or professional purposes
Anyone interested in confirming their TB status for personal health
What to Expect?
The clinic uses the reliable QuantiFERON blood test, conducted by Quest Diagnostics. No appointments are necessary during the extended period, just walk in between 9 AM and 4 PM. Please bring your campus ID and insurance card if available.
Take this opportunity to prioritize your health and help protect the UMBC community.

This event is in collaboration with the Florida State University Hispanic Graduate Student Association (FSU HiGSA). FSU HiGSA aims to promote Hispanic culture at FSU, to generate a support network that helps new graduate students settle and adapt to FSU and the local community, to mentor graduate students to succeed in academic life and goals, and to generate awareness of social and political issues in Hispanic countries and their relationship with the USA.
For this event we are meeting to talk about the film, The Cheech. The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture of the Riverside Art Museum showcases the actor's collection of more than 700 pieces by Mexican-American artists. Told through perspectives of established artists and those who know him best, the film tells his journey from comedy icon to Chicano art advocate. Director Varda Bar-Kar, Producer Alessandra Pasquino, and Artists Michael Alvarez, Alfonso Gonzalez Jr., and Jaime Muñoz will be joining us for a special guest Q&A!
Here is a link to where you can watch the film for free. >>Click here to watch The Cheech for free<<
The way this works is that everyone watches the film on their own BEFORE the event, then we meet on zoom to discuss. We break everyone out into randomized small groups of around 4 or 5 people, give them a discussion prompt, and give them about 20 minutes or so to discuss in their randomized groups. We will do multiple rounds of small group discussion with different groups and different prompts. This gives everyone an opportunity to meet new people and hear a variety of voices and perspectives throughout the night. Finally, we will end the night with a special guest Q&A!
When: Sunday, September 21st, 7 - 9 pm Eastern Time, but you don't have to stay the entire time. It is very flexible so people can come late or leave early if needed.
Where: Virtual, The zoom info will be available once you RSVP on the Eventbrite page. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/special-virtual-documentary-night-tickets-1242639772009
