UMBC Dining is continually striving to enhance and improve our services on campus. One of the best ways to do this is to hear directly from you! By attending a focus group you can share your opinions, suggestions, and likes so that we can ensure your experience in our dining locations is positive. 

Our focus groups are informal, fun, and informative. If you’ve wondered why something is a particular way, this is a great opportunity to find out, though we always look forward to your feedback. And we enjoy hearing from the community, even if you do not visit the campus dining locations often (we want to know why!) 

Each participant gets $50 Free UMBC Reward Dollars added to their UMBC Red Card! We will be hosting several targeted focus group sessions for resident students, commuters, graduates, and faculty & staff Tuesday 4/4, Wednesday 4/5 and Thursday 4/6.  The session will last approximately 60-75 minutes.  The discussion is for research purposes only to better learn how we can meet your dining needs in both the short and long term.  At no time will anyone try to sell you anything. Spaces are limited, so can we count on your participation?  Upon completing the screening questionnaire, we will send you a confirmation email with the exact date and time and give you a reminder call closer to the focus group date.
