Impact 🎉

This year's theme is "See Yourself In... the Student Experiences, Victories, Research, Support, Success"


Philanthropy plays such an important role in everything we do, and your generosity is in action every day at UMBC, making a profound difference in the lives of our students. Please consider making a gift of any size during this year's Black & Gold Rush to help fund scholarships and educational opportunities, support collaborative research, and provide critical resources for academic departments.
