Our Guiding Principles

Meet the Magazine Staff

 

  UMBC MAGAZINE

In February 2009, UMBC will launch a magazine that will reconnect the university's alumni to the life of the campus today.

In the course of creating guiding principles for the magazine, staff met with an array of alumni and campus constituents to determine how best to produce the informative, thought-provoking, and visually appealing magazine UMBC deserves. The magazine will be published three times a year, with additional content online throughout the year.

As we put together the first issue, we want to make sure your voice is represented. Use this web site as a jumping-off point for sharing your personal UMBC story. Submit a class note, suggest a story, write a first person essay, upload a Roving Retriever photo -- even ask UMBC President Freeman Hrabowski a question.

We look forward to hearing from you!
