IMPORTANT: Deadline to Report your COVID-19 Vaccination

Dear Retrievers, 


We are so excited to begin welcoming you back to campus next month. In fact, we cannot wait to begin introducing and reintroducing some of our favorite campus traditions such as Playfair, Convocation, Involvement Fest, and many others! In an effort to ensure your full participation in those traditions, it is important that you meet all UMBC health and safety guidelines including receiving and documenting your COVID-19 vaccine. 


All students who will be commuting to campus for the Fall 2021 semester must report their complete vaccine or receive an exemption by Friday, August 20th. Failure to meet this deadline will result in progressive discipline up to and including campus restriction and cancellation of classes. 


In order to be fully vaccinated, you must be two weeks past your second shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or your first shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. This means that you need to plan ahead as you will need to receive your first dose this week if you are receiving a two dose series. 


Residential students received separate instructions regarding the requirements they must complete in order to move in. We understand that not all of our international students will have access to a vaccine, more information is available for international students here. 


Thank you for all you are doing to maintain the health and safety of our community and we look forward to seeing you next month! 



Nancy Young

Vice President, Student Affairs

We’re pleased to announce that UMBC faculty can now import publications from ORCID into Digital Measures (DM)! 

ORCID is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting research and researchers. ORCID provides persistent digital identifiers that researchers own and control for sharing information with other systems, ensuring proper attribution and recognition for scholarly output, and saving time and hassle. Over 1,000 organizations, many of them universities and research institutions, participate as consortial members in ORCID. 

This new integration with Digital Measures (DM) was made possible as part of UMBC’s ORCID membership which took effect on March 1, 2021. UMBC faculty members updating the Intellectual Contributions section of their DM profiles can now select ORCID from the list of third party services offering imported citations. We know faculty maintain records in many online systems and we’re pleased to be able to provide this as an option for saving time. 

Instructions are available on the Library’s website: https://lib.guides.umbc.edu/c.php?g=1047837&p=7604167#s-lg-box-26854360 

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Michelle Flinchbaugh, Digital Scholarship Services Librarian, at flinchba@umbc.edu

Please note that UMBC does not require the creation of an ORCID account nor connection with DM for those who already have ORCID accounts and prefer to keep them separate. For those interested in learning more about ORCID before getting started, the library website and ORCID’s own website contain a wealth of information on features, privacy, security, and researcher control over data.

For Challenge Day 4, we are going to focus on values. You may be wondering why values are important, or how do they connect back to leadership? The values that we each hold are important because they help us grow, develop, and create the future we want to experience. The decisions that are made on an individual and group level, are actually a reflection of our values and beliefs, and they are typically always directed towards a specific purpose or need. Think of values as a compass, that weighs in on inner judgments or beliefs, which then helps determine decisions and behaviors while navigating the life or reality an individual or group wishes to live. 


Let’s take a moment to reflect on your own personal values. Individual values reflect how you show up in your life, your specific needs, the principles you live by and what you consider important for your self-interest. Below is a sample list of values, take a minute or so to go over each one.

  • Achievement
  • Adventure
  • Connectedness 
  • Courage
  • Creativity
  • Dependability
  • Determination
  • Empathy
  • Empowerment
  • Family
  • Friendship
  • Fun
  • Happiness
  • Health
  • Honesty
  • Independence
  • Individuality
  • Integrity
  • Intelligence
  • Justice
  • Kindness
  • Learning
  • Love
  • Peace
  • Perfection
  • Relationships
  • Religion
  • Security
  • Simplicity
  • Sincerity
  • Spirituality
  • Spontaneity
  • Success
  • Understanding
  • Wealth

After reviewing the terms above, post your top 5 values along with your response to the following questions.


Day 4 Challenge Questions:

What are your UMBC goals? 

And how are these goals related to your values determined on your top 5?


BONUS Question: 

Looking at the groups to which you belong (or are looking to join), how do the groups’ purpose/vision align with your values and interests?

We are happy to have welcomed many faculty and staff back to campus this month. Thank you to all faculty and staff who have reported their COVID-19 vaccine information. We are pleased that our campus vaccination rate continues to increase. You can view our current rate, as well as our projected rate based on anonymous data, on our public health dashboard, which is updated weekly. Remember that once your vaccine is verified, you are entered into weekly incentive drawings. We have already had two winners: a staff member from the Division of Professional Studies and one of our computer science majors each received 100 food fund points!

It remains imperative that all faculty and staff report their vaccines or request an exemption as soon as possible. Faculty and staff who do not report their vaccine or receive an exemption will face disciplinary action that includes but is not limited to the inability to participate in University travel or telework. 

Last week we provided all of our faculty and staff with their required health and safety measures based on their vaccination status. Individuals who do not have a verified vaccination status must complete daily symptom tracking and must test regularly when they begin visiting campus. Supervisors will receive further instructions on monitoring compliance with these requirements.  

We are closely monitoring the health and safety of our community and appreciate all that you are doing to support us.

Vice President for Administration and Finance Lynne Schaefer

Dear Faculty and Staff,

As part of UMBC’s efforts to assist with a smooth fall return to campus for staff, faculty, and graduate assistants (GAs) we have partnered with Care@Work to provide extended options for childcare, eldercare, petcare, and a host of other services. 

Care@Work connects families and caregivers. It offers a flexible platform — available on mobile, desktop, and in the iPhone and Android app stores. Care@Work provides eligible employees (regular staff and faculty, Contingent II staff, and GAs) with tools to help make informed hiring decisions whenever and wherever care needs arise. With UMBC’s free Premium Membership, eligible staff, faculty, and GAs can post a caregiver request and browse through active caregivers on the site, use the Safety Center, receive newsletters filled with tips and advice, and access the wealth of care-related content in the online community. Eligible employees and GAs also have access to view full profiles and reviews, contact caregivers, purchase background checks, subsidized backup care (tiered copay schedule), and tuition discounts at participating childcare centers.

We encourage eligible employees and GAs to visit the UMBC Care at Work website to review program enrollment and available resources. Questions regarding the Care@Work enrollment process should be directed to the HR Benefits Staff at hrbenefits@umbc.edu.
