Quadmania

Quadmania, UMBC’s annual largest campus-wide party, will rock UMBC on the Quad on Saturday, April 30th. In addition to a wide-variety of music and Headliners of Talib Kweli and Violent Femmes, Quadmania will feature several other attractions such as inflatables, carnival rides (D on map), contests, prizes, and food vendors (H and K on map). We are looking for volunteers and student Organizations to help with Quadmania and set up booths. Stop by the SEB office to sign up.
