· On UMBC Giving Day, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends will join the #BlackandGoldRush by giving to their favorite UMBC designations, and by inspiring others to give. Throughout the day, participants will have chances to help unlock giving challenges to drive additional support for areas they want to support. On Feb. 28, make a gift at givingday.umbc.edu and follow the excitement on UMBC social media pages. Spread the word by using #BlackandGoldRush.
