Hi Everyone,

I wanted to bring your attention to a wonderful opportunity we have at UMBC for undergraduate students to receive funding for research projects they would like to do during the summer months - the Undergraduate Research Award (URA). Students can receive up to $1,500 to work on their own projects over the summer.

Please refer to the following website for more information and please feel free to email Carolyn Forestiere (forestie@umbc.edu) if you have questions.

All best,

February 3- Technology in Baltimore with Ellen Hemmerly and Deb Tillett

On Sunday, February 15, at 3:00 pm in the Concert Hall, the Department of Music presents collaborative artist, pianist, music director and teacher JoyAnne Amani and Friends in a program entitled Mozart, Margaret, Moses and Me. “February is the month,” shares the artist, “in which we focus on three themes: the contributions of African Americans to our society; love; and Women’s Heart Health. This concert celebrates all three themes and is a musical tribute to my mother, Mrs. Ethel Richardson.”

The concert will feature Janice Jackson, soprano and UMBC voice faculty; Bruce Henderson, vocalist/saxophonist; Randy Williams, vocalist; Janice Chandler Eteme, soprano; Shannon Harmon, piano; and other musicians from the Baltimore area.

$15 general admission, $10 seniors, $5 students. Tickets are available online at MissionTix. Admission is free with a UMBC ID (tickets available at the door).
