Calling all first-year commuters!

Join the Shriver Commuter Engagement Community

Are you a first year student who wants to connect with other commuting students while positively benefiting your community?  If so, this opportunity is for YOU!

For the first time ever, OCSS will be offering a Commuter Engagement Community (CEC), which parallels the experience offered by Living-Learning Communities in residence halls.  This CEC is being offered in conjunction with the Shriver Center and will allow UMBC commuters to connect with one another while positively impacting their communities.  The CEC includes a class component, bi-weekly meetings to discuss student experiences, and academic and social gatherings.  The CEC will also give you an opportunity to be mentored by upperclassmen commuter students who successfully transitioned into life as a UMBC Retriever.

If you are interested in applying for the CEC, please complete the attached application and submit it by Friday, January 6th at 11:59pm.  If you have questions for concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Best,
