The History Student Association (HSA) is for students who are first and foremost passionate about history. Our group focuses on approaching issues, current and past, from a historical perspective. Whether your interest is cultural history, intellectual history, scientific history, political history, or any other form of history from any time period, we want you as a part of our group! At HAS, we aim to provide students with a respectful, open, and academic atmosphere as we discuss the issues that interest us. We hope to hold debates, round-table discussions, field trips, and more for students throughout the semester. To learn more, email HSA.USG@gmail.com.

The Psychology Student Association (PSA) at USG is a student organization which includes both Psychology majors as well as students with interests in the psychological field.

In the past, we have worked with the Boys & Girls Club of America, For 3 Sisters as well as various community and charity events. To learn more contact sgpsa-group@umbc.edu.

The Social Work Student Association (SWSA) is an organization designed to involve students into the community and volunteer their time and energy. Throughout the school year, we hold several events/fundraisers, organize groups of volunteers for needs throughout the holiday seasons, and host a large fundraiser event to benefit an organization of our choice. This is beneficial to students who are interested in learning about their communities and their multiple needs. It is a great way to increase professional development while taking classes and it is a great resume builder. To learn more, email swsa-usg@umbc.edu!
