Upcoming Programs Hosted by i3b
Transitioning into college is not always easy… especially if you are the first in your family to attend, if you are a part of a marginalized community, or if you regularly find yourself with more questions than answers. Don’t worry; we are here to help!

Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b) has partnered with the Academic Success Center to bring you three sessions that focus on helping you develop the skills and tools you need to experience first-year success! Sessions will occur from 6:00-7:30 p.m in the Mosaic Center (232B Commons Building). Not only will we explore academic success skills and principles, but we will also explore tools for navigating issues of discrimination, bias, and microaggressions within academic spaces and focus on the many ways our identities are assets within the college environment.

9/28: Exploring Success Skills and Tools for First Year & Transitioning Students - This session will explore university resources and key skills for first-year transition success and connect you with upper-class students who share their stories and recommendations for first-year success.

10/5: Knowing What to Expect and How to Navigate Identity-Based Challenges - This session will explore issues of bias, discrimination, and microaggressions and how they show up in university spaces. Students will leave with tools and skills to help them navigate identity-based challenges during the academic transition.

10/12: Bringing YOU into the Classroom - Have you heard of Cultural Wealth? Do you know that your identities are assets in university spaces? This session will explore how you bring Cultural Wealth into the classroom and introduce you to returning students who have learned how to advocate for themselves and be authentic in classroom spaces despite sometimes being the only one who shares their identity.

We are excited to announce that UMBC is participating in a research study to understand the experiences of informal (unpaid) student caregivers. An informal caregiver is someone who provides assistance with activities such as transportation, shopping, finances, bathing or dressing to a spouse, family member, friend or neighbor. Researchers are interested in understanding what
challenges students face while being a caregiver and what resources are most helpful to reach academic goals. You will receive an email in the next few weeks containing a link to the short survey. The survey should take less than five (5) minutes to complete.

Student caregiver participation will contribute greatly to our understanding of caregivers and help us identify new resources to assist students achieve their academic goals while being a caregiver.

Student caregiver participation is greatly appreciated to support this important research!

The Survey can be found in an email sent today (9/20/22) titled: "Shape UMBC's Future - Your Voice Needed"

Thank you,
The OCSS TEAM

Good afternoon Retrievers!


As you may have heard, on Monday, September 5, Baltimore City sent out an advisory for some residents to boil their water in response to the detection of E. coli in samples of the water supply to West Baltimore.


While the UMBC campus was not included in the advisory, we know that we have a large number of students who are living off campus and want to share information on  what to do and where to find water if you are living in an impacted area. General information is also available from the Centers for Disease Control. You can also check the Department of Public Works social media platforms, Twitter (@BaltimoreDPW), and Facebook, for updates as this situation develops.


If any updates from this situation arise we will continue to share information with you. 


For questions email us at: ocss@umbc.edu


All the best,

OCSS

Student Virtual Parking Permits Now Available! 
Dear Students,
 
UMBC virtual parking permits are now available for all new and returning students. All students are required to activate a new virtual on-campus parking permit each August. Please do not sign up for a visitor account; UMBC does not issue parking permits for visitors.
Parking enforcement will begin on August 31; those who park on campus without a valid permit will be issued a citation.
 
Registering your vehicle is not the same as getting a permit. Once vehicles are registered, please click on the "Get Permit" button. Parking permits must be renewed every August prior to the start of the new academic year. You may register up to three vehicles. However, you may only have one vehicle on campus at a time. Once you have registered your vehicle, please click on the "Get Permit" button. Failure to complete this step means no permit has been issued to you and as a result, you may be issued a citation.
 
Parking Permit Overview
Student parking permits are assigned as follows:
Please check out this UMBC parking zone map to verify the locations of spaces in your zone.
 
To learn more about parking at UMBC please, read our Virtual Permits FAQ. You can also view our Commuter Student Parking Guide to find the best parking locations for your class schedule or campus visit.
 
For additional questions or if you experience any issues, please contact Parking Services directly at parking@umbc.edu or at 410-455-2551.
