Our best resources and connections come from you, our UMBC parents/caregivers, so we're hoping you can help us with these efforts. If you have helpful resources, groups/organizations, websites, tips/hints you feel able and willing to share with us, please send them to womenscenter@umbc.edu.

UMBC Moms and Parents Group has a New Hyperlink! In an effort to be more inclusive and acknowledge that childcare/caregiving is not exclusive to mothers only, we have updated the UMBC Moms and Parents myUMBC group link to my.umbc.edu/groups/umbcparents. 

We welcome all parents and caregivers to be a part of this myUMBC group! 

If you have the old link (my.umbc.edu/groups/umbcmoms) saved in your bookmarks and/or linked to any of your departmental websites, please take a moment to make the updates. 

While we've changed our link and welcome all parents/caregivers to be a part of this community, we've decided to still include "moms" in the group name. While we'll keep advocating for gender equity in childcare and caregiving, we acknowledge that too often the bulk of the responsibility for coordinating childcare schedules, filling in caregiving gaps for other relatives and younger siblings, and maintaining household responsibilities still disproportionately falls upon women in many families. To our UMBC moms, we see you, you matter, and we will continue to center you in our work.

The sprints will occur across four weeks starting Tues., 8/8 and ending Wed., 9/9 (click here for specific dates & times).

About Today's Sprint

The sprint will take place in a Blackboard Collaborate virtual conference room. Use the following link up to 15 minutes before the start time:

Due to the short format, these virtual support sessions are designed for quick consults, not deep dives or customized training sessions. Also, you will likely be in a virtual room with several people who also are interested in the same topic, and being helped by a DoIT support staff member. Often, you can learn by listening to this Q&A, but if you want a personalized consult, please use my.umbc.edu/help to open a Request Tracker (RT) ticket.

While you can just “show up,” advance registration -- by indicating you are “Going” to this myUMBC event -- is appreciated and can help DoIT gauge how many support staff are needed in each breakout room.

Prior to the session

If this is your first time joining one of our live sessions, please review the Getting Started Guide. You will also find additional helpful information for using Blackboard Collaborate at our extensive FAQs. 

For the best experience, we recommend using Google Chrome or a recent browser update. Closing any unnecessary browser tabs will help conserve your bandwidth. After joining the session, please configure your audio. 

* Note: As announced to all incoming students on 7/23/20, since UMBC requires all students to have a computer and Internet access, these are now officially factored into UMBC’s “Cost of Attendance" and thus, can be funded through financial aid. To learn more, visit doit.umbc.edu/students

The start of semester is always busy, but especially during a global pandemic. We got through Spring 20, but since every student will likely have at least one online or hybrid Fall 20 course, the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) strongly recommends that all students check they have the necessary technology setup to be successful. To help, DoIT is hosting 12 Sprint sessions for 10-minute, virtual walk-in consults or pop-up support groups on key topics that include the following:

  1. Getting Online*

  2. Getting A Computer*

  3. Checking Your Blackboard Collaborate Audio Connection (essential)

  4. Using Virtual Computing Lab & Software (recommended)

  5. Using myUMBC Groups & Webex Teams for Student Clubs & Organizations (8/26, 8/31, 9/2 and 9/9 only).

The Sprints will occur across four weeks from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the following dates:

And from 11 a.m. to noon on the following dates:

Due to the short format, these virtual support sessions are designed for quick consults, not deep dives or customized training sessions. Also, you will likely be in a virtual room with several people who also are interested in the same topic, and being helped by a DoIT support staff member. Often, you can learn by listening to this Q&A, but if you want a personalized consult, please use my.umbc.edu/help to open a Request Tracker (RT) ticket.

About the Sprint

The sprints will take place in a Blackboard Collaborate virtual conference room. Use the link for each event up to 15 minutes before the start time. While you can just “show up,” advance registration -- by indicating you are “Going” through the myUMBC event link above -- is appreciated and can help DoIT gauge how many support staff are needed in each breakout room. However, if you require live closed captioning, advance registration is required.

Prior to the session

If this is your first time joining one of our live sessions, please review the Getting Started Guide. You will also find additional helpful information for using Blackboard Collaborate at our extensive FAQs. 

For the best experience, we recommend using Google Chrome or a recent browser update. Closing any unnecessary browser tabs will help conserve your bandwidth. After joining the session, please configure your audio. 

* Note: As announced to all incoming students on 7/22/20, since UMBC requires all students to have a computer and Internet access, financial aid may be used to meet this requirement. To learn more, students should contact their financial aid counselor at financialaid.umbc.edu/contact.
