It's a chance to chat about your semester, about the collective bargaining bill, and ever the pride you have in your kids if you'd like.    

The event may start as early as 4 pm and run until 7 pm (majority of people arrive between 5-7). I do think Happy Hour prices end at 6 pm. You don't have to come early, or stay late, there are no expectations other than you try and make it.  

We, AFAC, really want to hear your voices and stories. This is a great opportunity to share.

🏆 It's Retriever SoundOff Season!! 🏆

The Retriever SoundOff (RSO) Competition has returned for the Spring 🌸 ! I know there were some opinions on last semester's theme, but we really locked in for this one and we think you'll love it! 😎 


What is an RSO? 🏅

It is a music creation competition that will have you pushing your creativity to the limits!

With a unique theme for each competition, you'll be tasked with creating original works that fits this theme best. Don't miss out on the chance to showcase your skills and compete with other musicians!


What is in it for YOU? 🫵

This semester, we will be giving out a $30 UMBC Bookstore gift card as well as a unique Discord role that shows that you were the winner of this semester's RSO!


What is the theme? 😩

It's a secret - but not for long! This Sunday at 12:00 am, the theme and submission forms will be released on our discord server. You can get started right away, but make sure you submit your creation by Saturday, March 21st at 11:59 pm!
