CNMS Dean and Department Chairs CNMS GAs, Last 3 days to voice your concerns !!!
What is Meet and Confer (M&C)?

Meet and Confer (M&C) is a policy within the University System of Maryland (USM) that allows Graduate Assistants to participate in formal discussions with the administration regarding employment-related matters, including compensation and benefits. To learn more about M&C, please visit the UMBC website.


M&C Meetings- Spring '24

This year, we have adopted a new approach by organizing separate M&C meetings for each college at UMBC. This strategy is designed to address specific issues facing Graduate Assistants within individual colleges and departments in a more focused manner. Additionally, we have extended invitations to department chairs to ensure that department-level administration actively participates in resolving GA-related concerns, in collaboration with graduate school administration.


The CNMS M&C Meeting is scheduled for March 11th, and we strongly encourage all GAs from Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics and Statistics to complete the survey. Your input will allow you to voice your concerns and issues to the Graduate Assistant Advisory Committee, who will present them at the M&C meetings for discussion and resolution.

The Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising has openings available for Summer Orientation Advisors! Advisors meet with incoming students VIRTUALLY during the months of June-August in one-on-one sessions to plan out and register for classes. No previous experience is required, and we will provide all training necessary!


Besides compensation, this is a rare chance for graduate students to gain professional and interpersonal experience. Depending on your field, your time as a student may not open you up to many client-facing interactions, and this is a pathway to gaining that experience. If you are considering ANY career path where importance is placed on the ability to interact with clients in a positive manner, this is a TERRIFIC opportunity to add this valuable experience to your resume. If you are considering a career in academia, meanwhile, advising experience specifically is highly sought-after in faculty openings.

Upon hire, you will be given the opportunity to select which days you are available to advise. Grad students are eligible to be compensated at the rate of $100 per afternoon session and $50 per evening session.

In addition, for the first time ever, all advisors will have the opportunity to earn the Orientation Advisor microcredential through Badges @UMBC, demonstrating to the campus and other institutions their customer service and analytical skills!

We are offering informational sessions for anyone interested or who even just might be interested in finding out about this exciting opportunity to expand their skillsets, make meaningful connections, serve their departments, and get paid!
More info on these can be found on our myUMBC page at https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/advising/events.

To apply, please submit a completed application, together with a resume and cover letter, by Friday, March 15. The application and submission link can both be found here: https://advising.umbc.edu/orientation_upload/

Let us know if you have any questions!

With best regards,
Laszlo Korossy
