UMBC significantly shapes the student experience. Whether getting involved in campus events to joining student organizations, exploring diverse cultures and learning about spiritual practices, shaping new leaders, serving local communities, forming fraternity and sorority bonds, or Student Government board meetings – students create Student Life. Students are the reason for it, they make it happen, and they create it with their passions, ideas, dialogues, and programs. Through involvement in the countless student activities, students have the opportunities to meet new people, try new things, and engage in learning opportunities that complement their academic experiences.
