Volunteers Needed for Lego Robotics Championship Saturday This Saturday UMBC is hosting the Maryland First Lego League state championships. Its a fantastic event in which hundreds of 9-14 year old kids descend on the campus for the day, competing and taking part in this great event. 

The tournament is in need of volunteers for everything from judging to setup to general support, no experience is required, and its a wonderful event to be a part of and to see all of the amazing work these kids have done throughout the year to get to this point and how excited and passionate they all are. 

UMBC's community has always been great about providing support in the past, and the tournament is again in need of assistance both Friday for setup and Saturday for the event itself.

THIS COMING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13

2 – 4 P.M.

UC BALLROOM


The word ‘community’ is a joining of two words – ‘common’ and ‘unity.’  How do we find our common unity during these changing times especially when we don’t agree?  What capacities are needed to bring about a truly inclusive community, one that honors and calls forth the best in all of us?  This interactive concert with conscious singer-songwriter and trainer, Bob Sima, will explore these and other powerful questions through music and discussion with the goals being to strengthen our community and increase and improve:

With so many things outside of our control, we know one thing…that we can only truly control ourselves.  We can choose at any moment how we respond and engage with others and the world.  That choice matters more than ever now.

Please join us for this unique and inspiring concert with nationally touring singer-songwriter Bob Sima.

There is still time to donate to the MCC, and any donations made before December 23rd will be entered into a drawing for another set of airline tickets generously donated by Freeman Hrabowski. Cash or check donations can be made any time today, and online donations can be done through the end of December.

Any donation, regardless of size, can make a huge difference in the lives of people in need. There are so many worthwhile causes, and any amount, when multiplied by a large amount of people, can provide a charity with the tools to continue their work and help those in need. That is the power of the Maryland Charity Campaign. 

The Maryland Charity Campaign means a great deal to this campus. But, where it really matters is with those in our community who need our help. Whether it’s feeding the homeless, rescuing abused animals, or supporting victims of relationship violence and abuse.

We all know that sometimes the main reason people haven't given is that they simply haven't gotten around to it. So, if you have an interest in participating and plan to give, please do so now.

The deadline for gifts to the campaign has been extended, and we will be accepting online donations through the end of December 2016. If you have not yet had a chance to do so, we encourage you to help support the many nonprofit organizations that serve our surrounding community, and consider a gift of any amount. If you need assistance donating, see our online help guide.

Notice and Respond Session with Counseling Center

Support students, know the signs.

Wednesday, November 9, 2016 · 10 AM - Noon
The Commons: 329


Emotional distress is an expected part of a college student's experience, whether the source is academic, personal, social, family, or financial. Some students are able to cope effectively, with little adverse impact on their academics or social life, while others struggle to varying degrees. Due to your presence on campus and the amount of interaction you have with students, you are in a good position to recognize those students who exhibit troubled behavior. While it's certainly impossible to notice and assist all of them, being observant and showing that you are concerned can go a long way toward helping a struggling student.

Come and learn more about supporting students at the UMBC Counseling Center session: Notice and Respond. Spots for 30 ppl. Don't miss out!

Let us know you're coming: http://my.umbc.edu/groups/pss/events/44890

Two attendees will be randomly selected to their choice of 1 acupuncture or massage session.
