Survey Help Needed for Prove It Application

Prove It Proposal to Have Childcare at UMBC Events

Hello UMBC Moms and Parents:

I had a great conversation with a student yesterday about having childcare at campus events so students, faculty, and staff who are parents can attend events and engage in the UMBC campus community in ways they might not otherwise be able. The conversation led to the beginning stages of applying for a Prove It grant that would propose offering childcare at select campus events throughout the year so parents can attend while ensuring their children are cared for and safe on campus. In order to complete the application, a survey has been created to assess the need of providing childcare at campus events. 

(Please note, you must be signed into your umbc account to access the survey)

The student leading the proposal charge is Ashley Sweet who is a parent of 2 children. If other students are interested in helping with the proposal, feel free to contact me and I can put you in touch with Ashley. If faculty and staff would also like to be a part of the project and contribute support or cooperation in making this proposal possible, also feel free to contact me so I can put you in touch with Ashley.

The Prove It deadline is next Friday, 2/7 so the students are working on a tight deadline. Please help them out by completing the survey as soon as possible. Feel free to also post the link on your social media pages to help spread the word.

Thanks!
Jess
