Don’t miss your chance to connect, unwind, and celebrate the greatness of being a commuter! Mark your calendars, bring a friend, and let’s Fuel Up: Refueling Commuters One Stop at a Time!
Commuter Week is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.
As we embrace the arrival of spring, we are excited to restart our gardening project at Retriever Essentials! This initiative not only fosters sustainability, community engagement, and environmental awareness but also helps supply fresh produce to The Essential Space at Retriever Essentials.
To make this project a success, we are seeking donations of starter plants. If you have extra seedlings or small plants (vegetables, fruits, or herbs), we would greatly appreciate your contributions. These plants will be nurtured in our campus garden by dedicated volunteers who care for them regularly. The harvested fruits and vegetables will directly support Retriever Essentials, benefiting our campus community.
Donations can be dropped off at The Essential Space during open hours (see our website for hours), or we can arrange for a pickup if needed. Please reach out to retrieveressentials@umbc.edu for any questions or to coordinate donations.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us cultivate a greener, more sustainable campus!
