Dear Members of the UMBC Community,

We know that many in our community continue to be concerned about the potential impact of COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus. We want to assure you that the university is staying informed about the potential threat, planning for the health and safety of all in our community, and taking steps to curb the spread of influenza on campus. For additional information on COVID-19 and the University’s response, please visit this website, which will be updated regularly.

We are regularly monitoring information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on this virus and its effects in the United States. Currently there are no suspected or confirmed cases of coronavirus at UMBC and no confirmed cases in the state of Maryland. In addition, the CDC believes that this virus is not currently spreading in the United States.

As directed by the University’s Emergency Operations Plan, UMBC has convened our Incident Management Team, which is now meeting regularly to coordinate UMBC’s response to both the COVID-19 virus and influenza, a current health concern in Maryland. The university is currently implementing a range of precautions in response to influenza, including:
  • Elevated cleaning protocols across campus to minimize the spread of communicable diseases,
  • Prevention education posters and digital signage, and
  • Increased campus communication.
We want to remind our community members of the following health and safety tips:
  • If you are sick, please stay home and rest. Avoid crowded places like dining halls, classrooms, restaurants, and the RAC or other fitness centers to prevent spreading illness to others. 
  • Community members with underlying health conditions or who take medicines that suppress their immune system who have cold or flu symptoms should contact their health provider immediately. 
  • If you are sick and unsure if you need medical attention, please contact University Health Services at 410-455-2542. 
  • If you have not already done so, please consider getting a flu shot, which should be available at local pharmacies or from your primary care doctor.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the university’s response to this important issue.

Philip Rous, Provost and Nancy Young, Vice President for Student Affairs

This semester, the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery, will be suspending its access to new titles in Kanopy. This change comes as a result of the unsustainable cost of providing unlimited access through an automatic licensing model. By the end of the fall semester, we had fully expended the amount that was allocated to Kanopy for the entire year.

Kanopy's pricing model for libraries was based on views per title. Once a title was viewed three times for longer than 30 seconds on the fourth viewing we were charged a licensing fee of $150 for one year of access.

We understand and respect how popular streaming media is and that it can be an invaluable instructional resource. We regret having to make this change. But we could not sustain our access to Kanopy. Until the licenses expire, users will still be able to watch and stream all of our currently licensed films in Kanopy (approximately 307 titles).

UMBC is not alone in having made this difficult choice. Many libraries have either dropped their Kanopy collections or are working with Kanopy to provide access to a very limited collection. We will be working with Kanopy to see if a limited access collection might be feasible.

Other options for streaming and viewing video

We have a number of other streaming video platforms available to the UBMC community. For a complete list, please see our Resources for Streaming Media guide

We also have an extensive DVD and Blu-Ray collection. The titles are listed in our Library Catalog and are also browsable in the 2nd floor of the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery.

The Career Fair has passed and now it’s time to start applying to jobs! One of the keys to succeeding in a job application is to write a standout cover letter. Cover letters are formal business letters meant to get across who you are as a person, your job qualifications, and how you can add to whatever company or organization you want to work for.


Here are some quick tips for writing a standout cover letter:


  1. Structure your cover letter like a letter. You should include your permanent address, the date, the name of the hiring manager, their job title, the company name, and the company address.

  2. Match your resume. There shouldn’t be anything written in your cover letter that isn’t reflected in your resume. Additionally, you shouldn’t just walk the reader through your resume; the cover letter is where you give more details and really connect your skills to the job position.

  3. Focus on your strengths. Display confidence and positivity. The cover letter is where you can really show off your strengths, so try not to focus on what you lack.

  4. Minimize the use of “I” Be sure to vary your sentence structure to make reading your cover letter more interesting. Try not to use the word “I” too much, use “you” and “your” more frequently. It’s best to talk about what you can add to the company rather than what you can get out of working there.

  5. Keep it short. The most effective cover letters are concise and clear.

  6. Proofread. Spell-check isn’t enough! Be sure to proofread your resume and double-check that you are using the correct words for the correct context.


Cover letters may seem confusing and intimidating, but they don’t have to be. Be sure to utilize the Career Center resources available to you! We review cover letters during drop-in appointments Mondays through Thursdays from 2 pm to 4 pm and on Fridays from 12 pm to 4 pm. Of course, you can always make a longer 30- or 60-minute appointment with a Career Specialist through UMBCworks as well.

Hello Retrievers!
Tutoring is up and running for Spring 2020! You know about our services, but let's learn a bit about the people who make it happen with our Get to Know series!

Today's tutor is Ryan Mbagna-Nanko! Ryan is a Mechanical Engineering major at UMBC. In addition to working at the Math and Science Tutoring Center, Ryan also is available to tutor by appointment for PHYS 122.

Hey Ryan! Tell us what else you do on campus!
I’m a teaching fellow for Dynamics as well as a member of the NSBE. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer so I’m also a member of the intramural soccer team.

Why did you get involved with the Academic Success Center?
I was recommended by the professor to be a resource. I felt that I was social and relatable since I struggled a little bit in the beginning of the course. Because I sought out that help from my professor, I was able to do better.

Why do you love your job?
I enjoy that high of working with people and collaboration, improving their confidence in their subject. I enjoy that interaction and seeing people progress and understand the material. Seeing that before and after is motivating!

Ideal pizza and why?
It’s gotta be spicy, for sure! It can be breakfast pizza, with eggs and cheese. It has to have hot sauce on it and it has to have extra jalapenos. You can even swap out the marinara sauce with hot sauce, and I will eat it!

Thanks, Ryan for letting us get to know you! 
Find Ryan in the Math and Science Tutoring Center or book an appointment with him today!
