On May 25, 2020 George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis at the hands of the police, and the event reignited both a national conversation and one at UMBC, about police brutality, the over-incarceration of African-Americans, and the denial of equality and opportunity in the workplace, housing, politics, healthcare, and in particular, education. 


The staff of Undergraduate Research and Prestigious Scholarships wants to affirm our support for and solidarity with our Black students, faculty, and staff at UMBC and beyond. We condemn the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmad Arbery, and Freddie Gray, along with the countless other Black lives that have been taken. We stand in opposition to systemic racism and consciously work to be inclusive of black, brown, queer, women, first-generation, immigrants, disabled, and other underrepresented communities in our programs and opportunities. Those of us who benefit from white privilege commit to doing the work to practice anti-racism and foster inclusivity and diversity in our researchers, speakers, recruitment and outreach, and our language. We will continue to work on these issues with faculty who mentor students, and provide resources to ensure the equal treatment of students of color in our research and scholarship programs. 


We will work to promote a culture of inclusivity in our department. We will be critically engaged with the campus community as we move forward to create real change in this moment and beyond. We are grateful for Dr. Hrabowski and his leadership during these transformative times. We stand by the statement issued by USM leadership and Dr. Hrabowski and take these values as our own. Black Lives Matter.

Dear Members of the UMBC Community,

We were pleased to learn this afternoon that the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) has rescinded its recent changes to temporary exemptions for international students who hold F-1 and M-1 immigration status and plan to remain in the United States during the fall 2020 semester. As a result, the Government will return to the March 9, 2020 and March 13, 2020 policies, which permit international students to enroll in online courses during the coronavirus pandemic without compromising their immigration status. International students are a vital part of our UMBC community, and we are pleased that they will now be able to proceed with their plans for the fall 2020 semester.

The action to rescind the SEVP changes was announced today during a federal court hearing regarding lawsuits to block the proposed changes, including a multistate lawsuit that UMBC, as part of the University of System of Maryland (USM), had joined. More information about the lawsuit is included in this USM press release.

In addition to joining the lawsuit, UMBC had taken several other steps to support our international students in response to the initial SEVP policy changes.
We greatly value our international community, and will continue to monitor any future proposed changes to immigration policy. The SEVP proposal ran counter to our commitment to inclusive excellence, and we are pleased it has been withdrawn.

President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Philip Rous

Lois Akomeah is a Global Studies major, minoring in Africana studies, who will graduate in May, 2022. She is also a URA Scholar.
 
Title of your research project:
Political Corruption and Poverty in Ghana
 
Describe your project:
My research will be addressing the correlation between political corruption and poverty. I will be using Ghana as a model country in order to examine the common themes of political corruption throughout many other nations across the world.
 
Who is your mentor for your project? 
My mentor for my project is Dr. Christopher Brown, Global Studies department. I met my mentor through my GLBL 401 independent research class. I chose Dr. Brown because of his prior experience doing research in Ghana.
 
How did you become interested in this project?
I am a Global Studies major and minor in Africana studies, therefore this project not only addressed my academic focus, but would also help me formulate my own approach to a global concept, such as political corruption and poverty.
 
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher? 
The most unexpected thing about this research is discovering the many other factors that play a part in my research topic. I believe that in order for me to fully conduct this research, I will need to address far more things than I planned, such as infrastructure, ethnic conflicts, and etc. Yet the unexpected widening of my research has also played a role in my growing excitement in conducting a more holistic research and global approach to political corruption and poverty in Ghana.
 
What has been the most rewarding part?
The most rewarding aspect of this opportunity is having the chance to directly come up with my own methodology in researching my topic. It has allowed me much mobility to construct this research in a culturally appropriate manner, which I believe is important in regards to forming a more holistic research approach.
 
How will you disseminate your research?
I will disseminate my research through a research paper and visual representations, such as videos of the interviews and pictures of the environment. 
 
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research? 
I advise my peers to seek many opportunities in research. Research is a way to apply the many things you are taught in class and is also a way to come up with your own resolutions on topics you are passionate about.
 
What are your career goals?
One of my career goals is to open up a non-profit organization that will be located in many parts of Africa, the Caribbean, and South America. This non-profit organization will cater to the black and African youth of the community by giving them an opportunity to participate in the liberal arts, such as dance, writing, and other creative activities. I believe the future of the Black diaspora is dependent on the youth, therefore the youth should have opportunities to cater to their many forms of potential.
