ASB consists of several student-run, week-long, service-learning trips that provide an opportunity for students to spend a week during Spring Break learning about and contributing to addressing social issues by working with community partners and government entities. This year’s trips focus on social issues such as:
Public Health
Health Education
Food Access & Food Insecurity
Economic Disparity
Each trip is led by a Trip Leader and all trips will take place in Baltimore to better connect students to the city and introduce them to opportunities for long-term community engagement beyond ASB.
Remember to Fall Back!
If you weren’t already aware, daylight saving time will end this coming weekend. This means that clocks move BACK one hour at 2:00am on Sunday, November 5th.
Let's Do Lunch
Calling all first year students! Come meet with representatives from UMBC student organizations related to Health and Wellness, Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at noon in True Grits.
1. Trust your instincts. If you feel alarmed, scared or creepy in any situation, go with your gut. If you see something spooky, contact the local Police immediately 911 from an off-campus location, 410-455-5555 from an on-campus location.
2.Travel in groups! Avoid being alone or isolated with a vampire – – or any creature – – who you don’t know or trust. Make sure a dependable friend knows where you are and who you are with at all times. Don’t leave your group with anyone you’re not sure of – even if he or she asks. Say you’d rather stay with the group.
3.Check in with your friends throughout All Hallow’s Eve. Form a buddy system so that no one wanders off alone. Agree on a secret “butt in” signal for uncomfortable situations, such as “Ghost” or “Ghoul!”
4.Don’t accept “potion” from people you don’t know or trust and never leave your “potion” unattended. If you lose sight of your “potion,” get a new one, and always watch your “potion” being prepared.
5. Watch out for your friends, and don’t be afraid to intervene if a situation appears to be scaring your friend or is frightening you. If your friend seems too drunk or is acting abnormally, get them to a safe place immediately.
6. Even when our students take precautions, we know that scary situations can happen, and if the do, UMBC is here to help. If you need immediate assistance call University Police: 410-455-5555 or talk to your RA to be connected with resources.
