QuantiFERON Clinic

Dear UMBC Community,

Retriever Integrated Health is pleased to announce that the QuantiFERON (TB blood test) Clinic in partnership with Quest Diagnostics has been extended through Thursday, September 24. This extension gives more time for students, faculty, and staff to complete their TB screening right here on campus.

Extended Clinic Details

Why TB Screening Matters?
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that can affect the lungs and spread through the air. Many academic programs, clinical placements, internships, and employment opportunities require TB screening as part of their health clearance. Getting tested on campus ensures you meet these requirements conveniently and on time.

Who Should Attend?

What to Expect?
The clinic uses the reliable QuantiFERON blood test, conducted by Quest Diagnostics. No appointments are necessary during the extended period, just walk in between 9 AM and 4 PM. Please bring your campus ID and insurance card if available.

Take this opportunity to prioritize your health and help protect the UMBC community.

A message from our colleagues in the Center for Social Justice Dialogue. Original post here.

This fall, the Center for Social Justice Dialogue is hosting Interact, a series designed to help participants hone the skills to successfully engage in dialogue across difference. If you are a student within WILL+, ILE, any other Living-Learning Communities (LLC) or are just an undergraduate student interested in upscaling your dialogue, register now!

WHAT IS INTERACT?

Interact is a four-week program for undergraduate students focused on creating an introduction to the dialogue skills required to engage in difficult conversations, dialogue across difference, and intercultural dialogue.

The goal of Interact at UMBC is to develop foundational dialogue skills such as critical self-awareness, listening and sharing authentically, asking questions toward creating deep connections, and apologizing and adjusting appropriately, while creating opportunities for participants to become more self-aware. As a result of participation in Interact, participants will have the skills to engage in dialogue within any type of situation and any topic of conversation.

Participants meet weekly in small groups for 90-minute sessions that are co-facilitated by 2-3 facilitators. Each small group consists of 10-15 participants. During these sessions, participants learn and practice the necessary skills to become inclusive leaders and engaged community members.

Participants who attend at least three of the four sessions will be entered into a raffle to win prizes such as a PORTABLE PROJECTOR and WEIGHTED BLANKET!

Serena Studivant, assistant director, commuter student success, will be a featured alumnus speaker for the September 11 “Young and Ambitious” panel discussion at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s (UMES) Founders Week. 

The “Young and Ambitious” initiative is designed to connect current UMES students with accomplished alumni who can share insights regarding career development, professional challenges, and strategies for success. The panelists are asked to share their journeys since leaving UMES to offer valuable insights and inspire the students: their professional journeys since graduating from UMES, key decisions that shaped their careers, challenges they’ve overcome in their professional lives, advice they would offer to students preparing to enter similar fields, and how their UMES education contributed to their success. The program is part of UMES’s broader commitment to student career exploration and professional development, coordinated through the Career and Professional Development Center and Office of Alumni Relations & Special Events.

Studivant graduated from UMES in May of 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Design, and a concentration in Commercial Photography. In 2023, she received the 2023 Distinguished Alumna award on behalf of UMES, recognizing the accomplishments of alumni from each university in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Serena was appointed 2nd Vice President of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) National Alumni Association in 2024.
