Welcome to the fall 2024 semester!
Please take a minute to read through these semesterly reminders.
Building Access: Access to the UMSON building in Baltimore is through the front door (courtyard) or the Southern Management Campus Center ONLY. There is NO ACCESS to the building from the side door from Penn Street. Access requires your UMB One Card or another form of photo identification. You must scan your One Card at the card reader at entrances (or at the guard’s desk); if you do not have your One Card, you must show your other form of photo ID to the guard.
Scent- and Latex-Free UMSON: Given that some of our employees and students have allergies, UMSON has scent-free (e.g., perfume, after shave) and latex-free practices. This means latex balloons are not permitted at celebrations; Mylar balloons may be used. Thank you for your consideration as we support a healthy work environment and everyone’s well-being.
