UMB is asking its community members to protect themselves and others from COVID-19 by taking the Protect UMB Pledge. Faculty, staff, students, and affiliates are challenged to take the pledge to share in accountability. The greater message is that, as we gradually return to campus, together we can be vigilant against spreading the coronavirus. The pledge video encourages us to "UMBe responsible for your health, UMBe considerate of others, and UMBe well."
