A much newer Homecoming tradition at UMBC is the annual Homecoming Bonfire on Erickson Field. First starting in 2005, the bonfire is an iconic tradition among the Homecoming festivities at UMBC. The idea for a bonfire came from First Year council member Thomas Locastro who gathered support for the event in October 2005. He had the honors of lighting the fire that year, as well as in 2006 and 2007. Since then, the annual bonfire lighting has taken place each year, except for two years when the event had to be canceled due to rain and bad weather. Activities at the bonfires over the years have included fireworks, movie showings, pancake eating contests, and free food.

Hi Retrievers! Despite the nice weather, the semester is progressing quickly. And while visions of Halloween costumes and Pumpkin Spice might currently be dancing in your head, we at the Learning Resources Center are thinking about midterms!

Yes, the dreaded ‘M’ word! The most recent marker of your achievement in your courses! Everything that you’ve learned this semester has been leading up to this moment! Are you prepared?

We’re sure some of you have already signed up for weekly appointment tutoring (you can now do so through our Facebook page! Just click the sign up button). We know some of you have been regularly visiting our Math Lab and Writing Center.

But for those of you who have the option, have you tried PASS_S.I.?

PASS_SI are peer assisted study sessions conducted by S.I. leaders. PASS_SI leaders are trained students who have taken the class before and passed with a high grade. At a PASS_SI session, leaders will guide students through core concepts of the course and will share the strategies they used to be successful in the course.  The study sessions are informal seminars where students review notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools and prepare for examinations.

 

S.I. is designed for courses that have been considered historically difficulty. Currently, S.I. if offered for BIOL 141, BIOL 142, BIOL 302, BIOL 303, CHEM 123, GES 120, MATH 150, and PHYS 121. If you are currently in those courses, check out the S.I. schedule to find the best session for you!

Happy studying!
