The earlier you respond, the more times </span></span></span><span><span><span>you will be entered into drawings. Four winners will be selected by March 28th. </span></span></span><span><span><span>Retriever Dollars can be used across campus to pay for tuition, purchase textbooks, postage, </span></span></span><span><span><span>event tickets, UMBC apparel, and much more.
