Support the Alternative Spring Break Homelessness Trip!
Get involved in this wonderful cause.
Alternative Spring Break is a week-long service retreat, lead by UMBC students! This retreat engages students in social issues in the community and challenges students to explore how communities are tackling them. The Homelessness Trip, in particular, will be working to address social issues surrounding homelessness in the Baltimore area. We will be working with various nonprofit organizations in the city to provide resources, meals, and services to those in need. We also strive to learn about the underlying causes of homelessness and how we can facilitate real change both now and in the future! Your donation will fund food, lodging, and transportation for students engaging in this week-long cause. A donation of only $25 can fund almost half of a student's trip cost!
Please reach out to Asma Qaiyumi at
aqaiyu2@umbc.edu with any questions you may have!
Are you interested in
medicine?
Are you an emergency
medical services major, or have an interest in the field?
Do you want to be able to
do life-saving work while you’re still in college?
If you answered yes to
any of these questions, then you should look in to becoming a volunteer EMT or
paramedic for the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department (AVFD.) The non-profit
organization is currently looking for new members, and anyone who has any level
of interest is welcome to apply to be a volunteer. If you're worried about the time commitment of receiving the training: rest assured that the AVFD is very understanding, and will help work around your busy schedule to make becoming certified a reality. Receiving the training is
completely free, and once you’re a certified volunteer, there are a multitude
of benefits. For starters: volunteers receive tax breaks. Additionally, if
you’re pre-med, or have any interest in medicine, it will act as a huge resume
booster. And if you end up absolutely loving the work, and want to make it into a
career, then you will have job security (EMTs and paramedics have a job growth
rate that is over double the national average.) And most importantly: you’ll be
doing incredibly rewarding work each and every day that you volunteer, being
able to go home with the knowledge that you helped others in their time of
need.
Those who are interested
should contact the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department at (410) 242-6601, or
go to their website to gain further information.

SEPTEMBER IS FIRE SAFETY MONTH!
Take the Quiz! Enter the raffle to win $500!
|
Welcome to Member to Member .. an informational bulletin to members of The Center
September is Campus Fire Safety Month
September is Campus Fire Safety Month and this year the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and The Center for Campus Fire Safety (The Center) are hosting our second annual campus fire safety campaign.
WHAT KIND OF COOK ARE YOU IN THE KITCHEN?
Students ... Take the Quiz between September 1 and September 30, 2016.
PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION TO YOUR STUDENTS TO TAKE OUR QUIZ. RULES
Two students will be randomly selected to receive a $500. American Express Gift Card for participating in the quiz.
If you are a fire safety educator, tools to promote this contest and additional fire safety tips for Campus Fire Safety Month can be found at: www.campusfiresafety.org/cooking and www.nfpa.org/campus
The Campus Fire Safety Month Quiz & Sweepstakes helps to raise awareness among college-aged students who live in on-and off-campus housing about the dangers of cooking fires. Students have access to kitchens and make meals using stoves, ovens or other heating appliances have the opportunity, through an interactive quiz, to recognize unsafe practices and learn appropriate ways to cook meals that will reduce the risk for injury and damage caused by fire.
“With more access to kitchens, students are making more meals or snacks using stoves and ovens, often for the first time and without proper training,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy for NFPA. “The campaign encourages students living on- and off-campus to know the risks and the preventative actions that can save their lives.”
According to Michael J. Swain, president of The Center for Campus Fire Safety, encouraging students to share this information with their peers will send a strong fire safety message that will be remembered going forward. “With the beginning of the school year,” he says, “The Center continues its mission to make campuses and off-campus housing safer for students. We were pleased to see there were no student deaths in the 2015-2016 school year.”

American Red Cross Supports Black History Month!
Help in the fight against Sick Cell Disease!
100,000 people, mainly African Americans are affected by Sickle Cell disease, due to having genetically unique blood types. Therefore, it is important to find donors with matching blood types that share the same ethnic or genetic background. Donors with Blood type O negative, A negative, B negative, and platelet donors are especially encouraged to donate!
Also during this month, the American Red Cross celebrates Dr. Henry Drew, the first medical director of the American Red Cross. He was an African American surgeon and blood bank pioneer and he saved millions of lives during World War 2 though his research on storing and shipping blood plasma.
For more information, visit the link attached to this post!
