UMB Philosophy Facebook Group: This group is for students, alumni, and faculty, and friends of the UMB Philosophy Department. It is a good way to learn about upcoming events, news (like who just got tenure!), see photos of events, and find old friends. If you are on Facebook and want to join should just go onto the group and ask to add. This is a great way to keep track of special events in the department, and also a way for alumni to stay in touch. Just go to the page and ask to be added.
