Held on the last day of Fall Kick-Off, over 50 University of Maryland, Baltimore student organizations, campus departments, and local non-profits participate in the Campus Involvement Fair to share information about how they serve students, and opportunities for involvement.It's where students can find their place outside of the classroom by chatting with organization members, and scoring some free UMB swag.The Involvement Fair is co-sponsored by UMB Student Affairs and the University Student Government Association (USGA).

“When your child is seriously ill… what do I do for my other kids?”Nursing associate professor Kim Mooney-Doyle builds preventive, family-based support so parents and siblings get what they need—before crises hit. Research funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR).#BreakthroughsCantWaitUMB #FamilyFirstCare #PediatricPalliativeCare #WholeFamilyHealth #NursingResearch #UMBresearch #NINR - 4:53What if caring for seriously ill children meant supporting their siblings too?
Nearly 200,000 children and adolescents in the U.S. have a brother or sister with a life-limiting illness. These siblings face unique challenges that often go unseen.Kim Mooney-Doyle, PhD, RN, CPNP-AC, FAAN, associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Nursing, explained that siblings of seriously ill children experience “dual losses.” They not only lose the companionship and guidance of a close friend when their sibling is hospitalized or dies, but they also face disruptions in their bond with parents whose attention is consumed by caregiving. - 0:54Beating Pancreatic Cancer with Computer Simulations | Breakthroughs Can't Wait
In 2025, more than 67,000 people are expected to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer — and 80% will die within the year.Student researcher Lynijah Russell is working to change that. By creating virtual tumor simulations that grow in minutes instead of days, her work could help doctors detect cancer earlier and save more lives.Breakthroughs Can’t Wait — and at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, we’re changing the future today. #BreakthroughsCantWaitUMB #CancerResearch #PancreaticCancer #UMBresearch #HealthcareInnovation - 1:35Volunteering for Afghanistan After 9/11 | Jacqueline Mitchell

Student researcher Lynijah Russell is designing virtual environments that act and react like human organs in order to simulate diseases and treatments. Now a sophomore at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, Russell says her love for science was jump-started at the University of Maryland, Baltimore where she participated in the UMB CURE Scholars Program.#ComputerModeling #CancerResearch #PancreaticCancer #MedicalSimulation #PythonProgramming #StudentResearch #BiomedicalEngineering #VirtualOrgans #CancerCure #CUREScholars - 1:43Army Nurse to Professor | Jacqueline Mitchell “Becoming the Story”
