While the battle against the stigma surrounding mental health and getting students to reach out has made much progress, there is still more that our campus could be doing to support our students. 

The ultimate goal is to provide each and every student with the resources and support they need to succeed. It starts with raising awareness of the resources already available on this campus. This includes increasing visibility of emergency numbers and information on where to find help. It continues with more students actively supporting their peers on campus. Peer mediated support groups are valuable tools on other college campuses that provide students with a comfortable environment to share their thoughts with other peers. These are just a few of the changes that could be made to continue progress on our campus.

Think back to the summer leading up to your first year at UMBC. 
Did you leave orientation feeling prepared to achieve academic success?...
Did your OPA assure you that your class schedule was not as bad as it seemed?...

Now fast-forward to the first few weeks of the semester.
Did your Woolie show you the best food places on campus or the quickest way to get to your classes?... 
Did you leave Involvement Fest feeling connected to one or more student orgs?...

For some of us, the transition to UMBC was smooth and easy. Others had an extremely rough time and made mistakes along the way. To some, the transition was just meh - neither great nor terrible. I, personally, had a great transition to UMBC. I owe my success to a few students who gave me the tips and tricks they learned along the course of their first two semesters. Because of this and other similar stories, I believe that we, the students, are the greatest resources that UMBC has to offer. 

Let's work together to make an avenue for the best possible transition for future UMBC students!

Culture--that's what I want environmentalism at UMBC to be. 

Picture this: sustainability so deeply ingrained in campus culture, that it's common to see students carrying a reusable straw in their backpacks or unplugging their laptops when they're not in use. The campus is clean, no trash to be seen, and our carbon footprint reaches an all-time zero. UMBC becomes a place known not only for her strong academics, but also for her ability to give back to the earth.

 That is my vision of change for UMBC, and it is the vision of many students on campus as well. As a part of SGA, I am beyond excited to put this vision into action through my initiatives. In order for this vision to come true, we students need to start living it out. Instead of just talking about what we can do, let's do it.

At the last Meeting of the Graduate Senate on Monday October 1, we discussed a potential new Initiative the GSA could undertake: An Emergency Loan Initiative. While we are far from having all of the details, we envision this initiative as a mechanism that could provide temporary financial support to graduate students in times of financial need.

UConn has such a program that might serve as a template for ours: https://dos.uconn.edu/short-term-emergency-loans-stelf/

Brown also has a similar program:https://www.brown.edu/academics/gradschool/financing-support/emergency-loan-programs

We are looking to have a group of 3-5 students interested in pursuing the details of this initiative in concert with the Graduate Senate.

If there is enough interest, a committee may be formed at the next Meeting of the Graduate Senate and can provide compensation for up to 5 active students.

If you are interested or would like to offer any comment, leave us a comment below or email us directly at gsa@umbc.edu.
