Prevent COVID-19!

• Protect the Pack: wear your mask indoors unless actively eating. We have layers of COVID-19 prevention protection at UMBC, including vaccination, physical distancing, regular testing of vaccine-exempt individuals, and indoor masking. If you choose to eat indoors at the Commons, University Center, or other campus locations, please continue to wear your mask unless you are actively eating and ensure that your mask covers your mouth and nose.

• We continue to update our information on the most effective masks to wear.

Supporting Students with Mental Health Distress

• Join Retriever Integrated Health/Health Promotion for a one-hour virtual workshop on Tuesday, September 28 at noon and learn how to identify the signs of mental health distress, strategies to support students in need, and how to connect students with resources on and off campus. This workshop will also be offered on October 1 at 3 p.m.
