Active or Prior Undergraduate Researchers Needed for Study
You may qualify
If you are a junior or senior who participated in research at UMBC with a mentor at anytime in the last two academic years, you may be able to help this doctoral student with his project. This work has IRB approval from University of Pennsylvania. See the student's request:
Dear UMBC Student,
I’m a doctoral candidate in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. My dissertation explores potential influences that faculty-mentored undergraduate research has on student engagement and student academic achievement.
I understand you may be a student who previously conducted research with a UMBC faculty-mentor. If so, I would like to have a conversation with you about your faculty-mentored research past experience as part of my dissertation study. The commitment involves a one (1) hour individual interview with me this fall.
If this sounds interesting to you, please let me know as soon as possible. I am glad to answer questions that you may have about the interview and my dissertation study. All replies will be confidential. I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Michael Nichols

Black History in Baltimore and Beyond - on display now
Exhibit in Special Collections
On exhibition in the Library Special Collections is Black History in Baltimore and Beyond, open from September 28th until November 13th.
This show, curated by Special Collections student assistant Audrey Gatewood, is made up of books, photographs, and magazines from Special Collections' holdings. Split into three parts, it provides a glance into just a few of the building blocks that make up African American history. First, there are representations of the background of Baltimore, its Black community history, the evolution of its neighborhoods and schools. Next, there are items that indicate the hardships African Americans have faced, Jim Crow laws, blockbusting, and police brutality. Finally there is material related to the Civil Rights Movement, ever-evolving struggles for fairness, people power, and activism.
African American history is a wealth of complexities. This exhibit provides insight into what are just pieces of a massive narrative of the Black experience in America through literature, alternative press publications, and photographs by Roland Freeman.
Special Collections is open Monday through Friday, 1 p.m. - 4 p.m, with extended hours until 8pm on Thursdays, and
is located on the first floor of the Library through the Gallery.

LRC Appointment Tutoring FAQ
Get tutoring now!
Good Morning, Retrievers!
If you are reading this message, then congrats! You have officially survived the first week of the Fall Semester. You have braved syllabus day. You've done your first homework. And slowly, but surely, you are preparing for your next test.
And what better way to prepare than with tutoring through the Learning Resources Center!
The Learning Resources Center is your one-stop shop for academic support for many undergraduate courses at UMBC. Papers got you down? Visit The Writing Center! Need help with Math? Visit our Math Lab (now located on the first floor of the library, right next to our Writing Center). Need help with any other course? Sign up for weekly Appointment Tutoring through our website!
Before you begin your quest for academic excellence, let’s cover a few of the basics with a handy FAQ about Appointment Tutoring.
“How do I get a tutor?”
Sign up online through our website! Because it’s a Google form, make sure you log into myUMBC and check your mail, which will in turn sign you into your UMBC google account. Our form is UMBC exclusive, meaning that you will not be able to see it unless you are signed into your UMBC google account.
“How does tutoring work?”
After you sign up for tutoring, you will receive a weekly (yes, weekly) appointment with one of our trained peer tutors. Our appointment tutoring is small group, meaning that no more than 3 other people will be tutored with you at the same time.
“What should I bring to my weekly session?”
Bring your textbooks, your questions, and a willingness to learn! Our tutors are here to help you, but they can’t if you’re not prepared for an active learning session.
“I don’t want to commit to weekly tutoring. Can’t I just come in right before I have a test or a final?”
Unfortunately, no. The purpose of LRC tutoring is to help you learn the material, not cram for a test. We want you to be successful, not just in one class but all of your classes as well. The best way to do that is to learn the material now and work through it with consistent support.
"How do I know when I’ve been scheduled for tutoring?/ How do I cancel if I can’t make it one week?"
Check your UMBC Google calendar! You should have a weekly event. If you can’t make it, you need to email the Learning Resources Center. Clicking “no” on the event isn’t enough.
"What does the LRC tutor?"
The short answer to that question is to check our website. We tutor mostly 100-level and 200-level courses, with a few 300-level courses for good measure. If your course isn’t listed, you can always request it on our website.
