COVID-19 Health & Safety
- UMBC’s Public Health Dashboard was updated with new data on October 28. The dashboard provides timely data about the prevalence of COVID-19 within our main campus. There was one new positive case during this reporting period.
Take Time for Self-Care
- Between COVID-19; academic stress; and tragedy, trauma, and current events in the world around us, we need to “press pause” and take a break. Check out this program from the JED foundation; the videos are really helpful. Press pause to take care of you!
New Library Pick-Up Location Starting November 1
