While we may not have personal pizza coupons to offer you during our Summer Reading Challenge, keeping up your reading skills over the summer still helps you earn a reward: making sure you can fly into the fall semester with as little turbulence as possible.

Remember that it doesn't matter WHAT you read - reading is a focus-based skill, meaning that even if you're reading the beachiest of beach reads, you're still able to turn your attention to a mental task for an extended period of time, which is essential for college students. If you can put an hour every day towards reading, we suggest you do, but a shorter (or longer) period every day (or every few days) can still be very beneficial.

Our staff is full of avid readers and we have some science-y recommendations for you each month if you're looking for some good options - check out our July picks here!

If you are looking for more options, we've also asked your professors and advisors for their top recommendations in fiction and nonfiction, plus some self-help books to keep your learning skills fresh. You can view our list of suggested readings HERE. The best part? The book recommendations are all directly related to your interests, major, and careers. Some of them may even give you insight into your upcoming classes this Fall -- let’s have the best summer yet!

Hello.

I’m inquiring to see if any department/group at UMBC has an operable monitor(s) that you are seeking to get rid of that we and DPS would appreciate repurposing for use?

Recently some of our monitors have been failing.  Wanted to check first with our campus partners to see if you all were getting rid of something like this.

If you can help us with this request, first of all THANK YOU and then please reach out to me via chat, email so we can arrange the next steps.

UMBC’s Career Center featured Cybersecurity MS student Sayee Bandishte as its "Intern of the Week". Working as a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Analyst Intern with UMBC DoIT, she supported the Maryland Public Service Commission by evaluating cybersecurity risks and controls for critical energy infrastructure using NIST frameworks.

Read the post on her background and internship here, and learn more about UMBC's MS in Cybersecurity graduate program here.

UMBC’s Division of Research and Creative Achievement recently announced the recipients of the 2027 Strategic Awards for Research Transitions (START) and the 2026 Summer Research Faculty Fellowship (SURFF) awards, two of the university’s primary, internal funding opportunities that support faculty-led research and creative work. 

The latest awards cover diverse projects, including exploring the genetic origins of a neurologic disorder in Siberian huskies, securing smartphones against voice scams, building novel animated sculpture, and exploring the legacy of Argentine-born American cellist Ennio Bolognini. 

In total for fiscal year 2027, 12 faculty members and researchers across UMBC’s three colleges and the university’s research centers were awarded up to $25,000 in START funding to advance their research and creative projects. The awards help recipients build research momentum early in their careers and hone their research pitches to pursue external funding. They can also help faculty pivot to new fields of inquiry later in their careers. 

For summer 2026, 21 faculty members received a SURFF award, which supports non-tenured, tenure-track faculty members in pursuing research and creative achievement projects during the summer. Recipients are awarded $8,000 in funding. 

“Each year when we review applications, we find we have so many faculty who are being very creative and really pushing the edge of what’s known in their various disciplines,” says Don Engel, associate vice president for strategic research initiatives at UMBC, who coordinates the faculty committee that reviews prospective awards. “The proposals really illustrate the breadth of achievement that goes on across the university.”
