UMBC’s Black & Gold Rush is here—a 36-hour giving challenge bringing Retrievers together to support our community. CWIT is rallying alumni, industry partners, and supporters to give, and we need your help to spread the word.
Here’s How CWIT Student Council Can Help:
Spread the word! Share your CWIT experience on your social media pages or tell friends and family why CWIT is important to you. A quick post, story, or even a text can help raise awareness and inspire support. Encourage other CWIT students to share their stories.
Get creative! Share photos from CWIT events and conferences (like Grace Hopper, Tapia, and SWE), post about how CWIT has shaped your journey, or even make a short video to encourage others to give.

Your voice matters, and every share helps CWIT continue providing opportunities for students like you. Thank you for being part of this amazing community and helping us grow!
