Retrievers United: Relationships & Building Community

The Universities at Shady Grove

Grab a bite to eat and join the UMBC-Shady Grove Staff to engage in discussions and activities that help promote relationship building and being a part of the UMBC-Shady Grove Community. We will also reflect on barriers that could prevent community building and getting involved such as negative self-talk and imposter syndrome.
