Survey of LGBTQ College Students’ Mental Health During COVID-19

Researchers at the University of Maryland (LGBTQ+ Students and Allies in Public Health) are studying the effects of COVID-19 on LGBTQ college students. Please participate if you are an LGBTQ college student by completing an anonymous survey at https://umdlgbtq.live/survey. Please share this post if you are LGBTQ or an ally! :)

After analyzing the data, we plan to disseminate a series of infographics about LGBTQ college students' mental health and their needs in the context of the pandemic, as well as best practices for serving these students.

One Final Terrapin Pin

Dear University of Maryland community,

Today is my final day as president of the University of Maryland.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve in this role for the past ten years. My wife Barbara and I are most grateful for your welcoming of us as members of the UMD family. We will be proud Terps forever.

Over the past decade, I have given out thousands of turtle pins to students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of UMD, as a token of appreciation for your dedication to, and support of, our University. And so, as I bid you farewell, I have one more Terrapin pin to give.

From the bottom of our hearts, Barbara and I thank you, and we wish you all the best in the years ahead.

With appreciation,

Wallace D. Loh
"Member" of the Class of 2020

BSOS Student Experience Scholarships - Opens July 1

Apply today for BSOS Fall 2020 Undergraduate Experience Funds!

These funds assist undergraduate BSOS majors engaged in experiential learning outside the classroom, such as unpaid internships, research, service learning, and professional or academic conferences. The funds are intended to help offset expenses related to activities like travel/transportation expenses, professional attire, and other opportunity costs (for example: the need to give up a part-time paid job in order to take an unpaid internship).

If you are a BSOS student with financial need that is preventing you from taking advantage of an unpaid opportunity, I encourage you to apply for BSOS Undergraduate Experience Funds.

Applications for Fall 2020 experiences are due no later than August 14. Click here to apply. Before submitting your application, make sure to review the eligibility criteria.

Questions regarding the scholarships or the application process can be e-mailed to bsos-scholarships@umd.edu.
