We are pleased to announce the university’s new campus cards have arrived and will be available for distribution beginning April 2019.

The cards feature a black and gold theme with the Retriever logo prominently displayed on the front and emergency contact information for quick access included on the back. This is the first campus card redesign in more than a decade, and we are excited to have a new design that reflects our culture of caring and support.

Why am I getting a new campus card?

In fall 2018, UMBC students shared a list of requests and recommendations with the UMBC administration to improve community safety and wellbeing, including prevention and response to sexual violence and misconduct. The new cards respond to recommendations from UMBC students to expand information available. The new card is just one of the projects under the Retriever Courage initiative.

What is Retriever Courage?

Retriever Courage is a campus-wide initiative to develop a productive dialogue and create a coordinated campus process for preventing and responding to incidents of sex discrimination and sexual violence/misconduct in a proactive, caring, and transparent manner.
