What are Writing Accountability Group, or WAGs at UMBC?

  • What: Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) are voluntary and facilitated by fellow UMBC graduate students

  • Who: WAGs are comprised of a group of graduate students (usually 4-8 participants per group) interested in developing writing habits and accountability 

  • Why: Develop habits of writing every day for a short, manageable period of time by setting goals and being accountable to WAG peers 

  • When: WAG groups meet once a week for 60-90 minutes for 10-12 weeks. The group finds a weekly time mutually convenient to all group members.

  • Where: The group decides on a mutually convenient location to meet, whether in person or online via WebEx or other video conferencing platform

Have you ever wasted time circling around a parking lot looking for a spot on campus? UMBC Parking Services is excited to introduce Perch Parking. Perch Parking was created by UMBC alumni, who understand the challenges of finding parking on campus during peak times. 


Perch Parking, currently utilized in Lot 3,is a cutting-edge parking detection system that uses AI and cameras to provide real-time information on available parking spots. The innovative system uses cameras mounted on strategic light poles to monitor the parking lot, allowing the AI to update a 3D map in real-time. All you need to do is download the Perch Parking app from the Apple App Store (Android version coming soon) and you'll have a miniature live model of the parking lot in the palm of your hand.


This service is still in its early stages. By participating in the open beta, you can help to fine-tune the app. This also could lead to the expansion of the system into more lots on campus.


Join us today in the open beta testing of the Perch Parking app. Your feedback will be invaluable in our quest to help make the parking experience at UMBC a smoother one.

  • Waste Management and Climate Change Survey
  • [shared on behalf of a graduate student in GES]
  • A graduate student in the geography and environmental systems department is sponsoring a survey that looks to understand how students comprehend waste, climate change and environmental justice. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and is for UMBC graduate and undergraduate students. The goal of the project is to see if students make connections between environmental justice, waste and climate change at universities. By understanding if those connections are made we hope to look at how to utilize power to make changes surrounding waste and environmental justice at UMBC. The survey link is available here. 

    Please contact Mackenzie Bodman (mbodman1@umbc.edu) for more information. The deadline to respond is February 13.
