National Wear Red Day®: Get #OurHearts Pumping!

NIH led fitness class for heart health month
Friday, February 3, 2023 12 - 12:30 PM Online

Each year on the first Friday in February, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, The Heart Truth® and others around the country celebrate National Wear Red Day® to bring greater attention to heart disease as a leading cause of death for Americans and steps people can take to protect their heart.

Join us Friday, February 3 to get #OurHearts pumping!

Wear red and join The Heart Truth, the NIH Fitness Center, and NHLBI leaders for 25 minutes of heart-pumping activity! During this live event, Drs. Gary Gibbons, NHLBI director, and David Goff, director of NHLBI's Division of Cardiovascular Sciences, will join NIH Fitness Instructor Linda Bessacque and others around the country for a sampling of fun aerobic exercises including kickboxing, dance, and flowing stretches. All fitness levels are welcome to participate.
When it comes to physical activity, aim for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. This can reduce your risk for heart disease and your chances of developing other risk factors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and being overweight.

The Collective Bargaining Bill is just round the corner, and we - the Graduate Student Association (GSA), want to know your stance on the bill. This survey's purpose is to understand how graduate assistants (GAs) at UMBC are currently feeling about their financial situation, including things such as housing, routine expenses, and GA benefits in relation to the current bill that will allow USM GAs the right to unionize. If you are unaware of the Collective Bargaining Bill or need a refresher, please go through this resource pack, especially curated for your reference.

The bill that was proposed last year is linked here.
A factsheet created by students at UMD can be found here.
UMBC GSA's statement from last year can be found here.

Please note that you have the freedom to skip any optional questions in this survey if you do not feel comfortable responding to it. This survey is strictly anonymous. This information will be used to help the GSA in its efforts to advocate for GAs and other graduate students at UMBC.

Completing this survey will enter you into a raffle to receive one of three $25 UMBC bookstore gift cards.
