Slaying on the Weekly: Who Runs the World? It’s no secret!
A weekly round-up curated by Women’s Center staff member, Michael Jalloh Jamboria
In the spirit of my friend, who gave us the glorious name ‘Slaying on the Weekly’, every week I will be bringing you some interesting, funny or thought-provoking content from the internet! Be sure to join us next week for more and continue to slay!
Happy Women’s History Month! Join us in celebrating women, their lives, their stories and their resistance.
- USA Today released a list of 31 kickass women and their contributions to society! Celebrate a woman everyday this month!
- Be sure to check out the Women’s Center’s Women’s History Calendar. There are great events and opportunities this month! Hope to see you some of the events!
- Loretta Ross is coming!! Join us on March 8th at 6pm for educator and activist Loretta Ross’ keynote about “Women’s Rights as Human Rights”. This is also the same day as the Women’s Strike. Are you participating? Stop by the Keynote to learn while you strike!
- Who is Loretta Ross, you ask? Ross is a Human and women’s rights activist. She co-founded and served as National Coordinator of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective. She shares her story to empower women everywhere and we are so excited to welcome Loretta Ross to UMBC.
-
What is Elect Her? Elect Her is the only program in the country that encourages and trains college women to run for student government and future political office. Join us for the Elect Her workshop on March 11th! I’ll be there, be sure to register online!
- Do you find yourself asking, “How can I bring myself into more racial and social justice oriented discourse?” Me too! The Sociology Dept. is hosting a new program, the Race and Equity Scholars Program. The first meeting is Wednesday March 8th, 12pm in Public Policy 203. See you there!
- Huffington Post has a great article, reminding us that Women’s History is Happening Now!!
- In case you needed it, this is your weekly reminder to stay on top of politics, question everything and resist. It’s difficult but your work helpsus create a better future. Take a break from the TV and check out What the F*** Just Happened Today?, a chronicle of policy and decisions being made through the current presidency.
- Need some light feminist reading? Check out “8 Times Muslim Women were Badass Throughout History“!
Did you know that the Women’s Center has a Facebook page? Did you know that we just hit 1,000 likes??!! Follow us for updates on Women’s Center events!!
The title of this Slaying in the Weekly was Beyonce themed and so, I would be doing you a disservice by ending this week without our kickass Women’s Empowerment playlist with some Beyonce!
See you here, next week! Same place, same time! Stay safe and continue to slay!

Integrative Biological Studies of Honey Bees
International internship in the Republic of Turkey
Title: Integrative Biological Studies of Honey Bees in the Republic of Turkey
An eight-week summer program is sponsored by the University of Central Oklahoma. The first week will consider aspects of the scientific process and experimental design before spending seven weeks in the country of Turkey (based at Uludag University in Bursa) to study aspects of the foraging ecology of solitary bees and honey bees in their native region of the world. These pollinator species are invasive in the United States but have potentially positive impacts on agriculture in both the US and Turkey.
Understanding the link between organisms and their history in other regions of the world is a major goal of this program. In addition, undergraduates will be shown the importance of international scientific collaboration as they participate in research objectives (described below) with a multinational team of scientists from the US, Turkey, Greece, and Bulgaria.
Research Information:
Three broad areas of investigation will be included in the project. These include:
- biogeographical comparisons of pollination systems in native and non-native settings that explore mechanisms of biological invasion;
- foraging dynamics of bees as mediated by visual clues and/or handling time at flowers; and
- behavioral assays to test effects of food quality and conditioning to various stimuli. Within these areas we test hypotheses that are ecological, behavioral, physiological, and genetic in nature. The PI and Senior Personnel links below, allow you to see the nature of the investigators' work in these and other areas.
The program runs from June 5 through July 28, 2017
The deadline to apply is MARCH 20, 2017
Benefits include:
- Travel, housing, AND meals will be covered
- A $4,200 stipend will be provided
- Cost of the Turkish visa (about $25) will be subtracted from the stipend.
- Course credit is optional.
Suggested Majors include (but are not limited to):
- Biological Sciences
- Ecology
- Environmental Science
- all related fields

Spanish Lab starts Friday, March 3rd!
Hi Retrievers!
As you all know, UMBC requires you to complete a foreign language for graduation and many UMBC students choose Spanish. While foreign languages may come easily to others, some students may need a little extra help. That's where the Spanish Lab comes in!
Spanish Lab? What is that? How does it work?
The Spanish Lab is a walk in Spanish help program that the Learning Resources Center is piloting this semester. This is a space where you can work on your Spanish homework or group projects and ask tutors for help if you need it. It's like having a study hall with tutors available if you have questions. If you're taking a Spanish class up to SPAN 201 and you don't understand something--this is the chance of a lifetime...or well of a semester anyway.
When and where does this happen?
Spanish Lab will start Friday March 3, 2017 and will run every Friday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. until May 12, 2017. The lab will be located on the first floor of the library, in the space that the Writing Center and Math Lab normally occupy.
What should I bring?
Bring questions! Bring projects! Bring anything that you are working on for your Spanish class! But most importantly, bring a good attitude and an open mind.
For more information, follow our myUMBC group or our Facebook page!!
Excited? Apprehensive? Have questions? Please leave them below in the comments section and we will do our best to answer them!

Real People Profiles: Maniraj Jeyaraju
We're asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty, staff and alumni, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.
Name: Maniraj Jeyaraju
Hometown: Ellicott City, MD
Major: Interdisciplinary Studies
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: It's my fourth year at UMBC.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: I am a URA Scholar, Grand Challenge Scholar, and Spark Committee Leader.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Researcher, Student Advocate, Student Representative for INDS Program, and a civic agent
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: A common theme among my roles is the capacity to learn from new environments. Whether in the classroom, during research, or in the real world, I enjoy learning from others, even if their perspectives conflict with my own. Moreover, the ability to make change and to innovate inspire me, as I am constantly looking for a better model.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: This is a great place to diversify your interests; become a sponge and absorb information that excites you. Though we all have career goals, I have been surprised at the countless number of occasions I have learned about myself and career path from people outside of my interests. A light bulb moment is often one conversation away with someone whom you have never met.
Q: What is one way you have worked with others to make a positive difference at UMBC or in another community?
A: I have been deeply involved with the Interdisciplinary Studies Program and served as a past president of the INDS Council of Majors. In the past couple of years, I led student events and built a partnership with the Delrey School in Halethorpe.
In my last year, I set my sights to a macro-goal of Spark, an initiative to engage student organizations in interdisciplinary community service projects. I am working with amazing colleagues, Ella Hawkins and Stanley Wang, to coordinate this effort. We are building relationships with Baltimore nonprofits, and we hope to empower both the UMBC and Baltimore communities through this project. If you're interested, contact me :)
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Tough questions; innovation; meeting new people; interdisciplinarity; ancient poetry
Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?
A: I definitely recommend taking the hidden elevator on the second floor of the library to the basement. They have some pretty cool stuff down there!
