Baltimore Sun Top Workplaces Survey
Dear Colleagues,

UMBC is participating in The Baltimore Sun Top Workplaces program, which identifies and compares top places to work in the Baltimore metropolitan area, based solely on the opinions of employees.

Beginning next week, you will be receiving an email with a link to the online survey. The survey, conducted by Energage, an independent research company, should take about five minutes to complete. Energage will keep your responses confidential; however, certain members of the UMBC community will have access to the optional written comments on the survey. If you wish to remain completely anonymous, please do not submit any optional written comments that could identify you individually.

Additionally, please note:

  • If you do not receive the survey email within the next week, please check your spam or junk email for a message from "Energage Survey." To open the survey invitation, you may have to confirm the email is not spam.
  • If you accidentally delete the survey email, you will receive a reminder email a few days later with another access link.
  • Do not forward the survey email to a colleague. Each email has a unique code to prevent multiple responses.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact Energage directly at 1-800-749-0187 or by replying to your survey email.

We encourage everyone's participation and hope you will take this opportunity to share your honest feedback.

Dear UMBC Community, 
 
I am pleased to announce that David Dauwalder has accepted my invitation to serve as interim provost at UMBC beginning August 15. David was selected from a highly qualified pool of interim candidates from The Registry, a firm specializing in placing interim higher education leaders. 
 
As I shared earlier this summer, the national search for our next provost and senior vice president for academic affairs is ongoing. Retaining an interim provost will allow us to continue to advance our strategic interests -- including moving forward with strategic planning -- as we recruit and select the next provost this year. My expectation is that the new provost will join us by next summer. 
 
In the meantime, we are fortunate to be gaining in David a deeply experienced, wise, and strategic academic administrator. Throughout his career, he has served as provost at several institutions, both public and private, including Central Connecticut State University; Woodbury University; University of New Haven; California State University, Stanislaus; and Central Washington University. 
 
After earning his bachelor's and doctoral degrees in education from Northern Arizona University and Arizona State University, respectively, David began his academic career as an assistant professor at Central Michigan University, and he served on the faculties at several universities before moving into academic administration while on the faculty at California State University, Los Angeles. In addition to his provost roles, he has served as dean of the School of Business and Economics at Central Washington, interim dean of the Eberhardt School of Business at the University of the Pacific, and interim president at Woodbury University. 
 
Along the way, he has led numerous accreditation processes and strategic planning processes, advanced student success initiatives, improved transparency and accountability of budget planning and tracking, increased support for research and creative activity, and in myriad ways advocated on behalf of faculty and embraced and advanced effective shared governance. 
 
David is excited to join our community and partner in advancing our distinctive academic mission and vision as a model of inclusive excellence. He is not a candidate for the permanent role; his service is intended to ensure continuity of leadership in all areas of academic administration during this period. Following a visit to campus recently during which David met with numerous members of shared governance and me, I am even more confident that he will integrate into our community and get up to speed quickly. I am gratified that UMBC has attracted such an outstanding academic administrator to provide interim leadership. Please join me in congratulating and welcoming David to UMBC. We will host opportunities for the UMBC community to meet David around the beginning of the semester, starting with Fall Opening Meeting on August 24. Other opportunities will be announced shortly. 
 
Finally, I want to take this opportunity as well to express my deepest appreciation once more to Philip Rous, who served so admirably as our provost and senior vice president for academic affairs and who has provided invaluable support to me and been a generous and gracious colleague to us all.
 
Sincerely,
 
President Valerie Sheares Ashby

Name: Zoonash Syed

Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Maryland Office of the Public Defender (MOPD)

Major or Program: Public Health

Current Class Level: Senior

Semester of Internship: Summer 2023

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
Some of the responsibilities I am required to do include shadowing attorneys within the office, attending court hearings for cases/trials, reading and organizing cases, as well as reviewing body camera footage in order to help with case preparation.

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I knew I wanted to have some sort of legal internship, and decided to ask my peers if they knew of any opportunities. A friend who graduated from UMBC let me know about MOPD, which led me to visit their website and notice that they had applications open for summer 2023 placement. At the time, it was nearing the end of the spring semester, so I applied and ended up getting the position!

How did you find your current experience?
Alumni Networking.

What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
The attorneys and staff at my office are all amazing, and have taught me so much about the legal field (in terms of public defense work). I've been able to ask many questions so that I can truly gain insight into a potential area of law I'm interested in. I also appreciate that I am allowed to participate in pretty much anything that I may find intriguing, such as specific cases or getting to witness interesting trials.

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I was able to provide different perspectives while working as an intern, such as my thoughts on certain cases and the types of arguments one could make (in order to provide different viewpoints for the attorneys I was working with). I also reviewed body camera footage, which helped the attorneys that didn't have enough time to review it themselves (due to the high volume of cases they had on a daily basis).

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
You miss any opportunity you don't take, so always believe in yourself and try!

Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
This opportunity gave me a realistic insight into the work life of a defense attorney, which has allowed me to reflect on the possible areas of law I may want to pursue in the future. It's an opportunity that simply can't be replicated through just reading about it online or in a book, and I'm thankful I was able to experience it myself!

Dear Campus Community, 

Severe storms are expected between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. this evening, with possible damaging winds of speeds greater than 70 mph. Tornadoes and large hail are possible. Be prepared for extended power outages and potential blocked roads by fallen trees. Don-t be outdoors when storms arrive. When you hear thunder, go indoors and seek shelter on the lowest floor in an interior room. 

We ask that supervisors be flexible in allowing staff working on campus to leave early to avoid the storms, if possible. 

Thanks, 

Kathy L. Dettloff
Vice President for Administration and Finance

UMBC does not own any off-campus housing properties but, we do have some resources to help you in your search.

  1. There are many apartment complexes around UMBC and or on the UMBC Shuttle Bus Route. Click Here
  2. OCH 101 Portal is another great place to look where independent landlord post openings 
  3. Under Groups on myUMBC you can search for the Classifieds where students, staff, and other campus members can post looking for a roommate and or openings they have. 
  4. Lastly if you are possibly interested in living ON-campus in the Fall reach out to UMBC's Residential Life to apply for housing. There is a waitlist but we do recommend apply even if you are just considering it. 
  5. Attached is housing options with the University of Maryland Baltimore, the application and information can be found on the attachment.


**Please note that as of end of July many of the apartment complexes have not have an vacancies.  We highly suggest calling them and seeing what is available.
