  <Title>Update on Refund Process</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>Dear Students,</div><div><br></div><div>As you know, we have been developing a plan to compensate students and their families for costs they have already paid for services and facilities that they will no longer be able to take advantage of given the University’s necessary shift to distance education. We are happy that the <a href="https://www.usmd.edu/newsroom/news/2011" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University System of Maryland Board of Regents</a> gave us their approval to refund room, board, and certain fees, on a pro rata basis, to students who are not on campus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This allows us to begin moving forward with the process of providing refunds to our students. </div><div><br></div><div>The pro rata refund for UMBC students will be for room and board, which includes meal plans, and the following fees: Athletics and Recreation, Commons, Auxiliary Facilities, Parking and Transportation, and Student Activities (both undergraduate and graduate).</div><div><br></div><div>After we calculate each student’s refund amount, refunds will show up as credits to student accounts, and will be applied first to any outstanding balances. Remaining balances will likely be disbursed to students using our refund partner, BankMobile, through the student’s preselected refund preference. We hope to be able to provide refunds by the end of April. However, students without BankMobile profiles will be refunded via payment requests through the State.</div><div><br></div><div>We would like to thank everyone who reached out to share their thoughts and concerns with us over the past few weeks. We know this is an uncertain time, and we are committed to being as flexible and available as possible as we work to support the health of our community and the academic progress of our students.</div><div>Please visit <a href="covid19.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">covid19.umbc.edu</a> for updates on this evolving situation. You can submit questions to <a href="mailto:covid19@umbc.edu">covid19@umbc.edu</a>.</div><div><br></div><div><em>Lynne Schaefer, Vice President, Finance and Administration, and Nancy Young, Vice President for Student Affairs</em></div><div><em>Co-Chairs, UMBC Crisis Management Executive Team</em></div><div><br></div></div>

  <Title>Professional Socializing</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p><span><em>Written by Jenika Brown,
    OAPA Peer Advisor</em></span></p><p><span>It’s time to dispel the
    notion that taking advantage of people is bad! Okay, before you judge, let me
    explain. You shouldn’t take advantage of people, but more so the opportunities around
    you. As a student at UMBC, you are literally surrounded by professionals who
    are in your desired career field, know people in that field, or are able to
    provide you with the fundamentals that you need for this field…take advantage
    of that while you can. It’s as easy as 1,2,3! Keep reading to see how.</span></p><p><strong><span>Make
    everyone your advisor!</span></strong></p><p><span>Believe it or not, the
    successful professionals around you had to discover themselves, their path, and
    their passion…just like you. Just asking a professional in your field(s) of
    interest about their story will open your eyes and doors to countless
    opportunities! Remember, establishing a good rapport with professionals around
    you can lead to letters of recommendation, internships, jobs, etc.</span></p><p><strong><span>Use
    social media like a pro!</span></strong></p><p><span>First impressions are
    everything, and for your potential employer this can mean social media. Forget
    Instagram; Snapchat; or Facebook, LinkedIn is the place to be!</span></p><p><span>LinkedIn is a social
    media site catered to building professional connections. As opposed to funny
    videos and cool selfies, your LinkedIn profile works as an interactive resume.
    You can list your credentials, join professional groups, and search and apply
    for jobs!</span></p><p><strong><span>P.S.- There’s a UMBC
    Alumni group on LinkedIn, click <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8336457/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a> to follow them now!</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>P.S.S.- Make sure you
    have a professional email handy, i.e.- your first and last name and minimal
    numbers.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>Start right here at
    UMBC!</span></strong></p><p><span>Where better to learn how
    to effectively network than the <strong>Career</strong> <strong>Center</strong>? In addition to
    hosting a plethora of events that function to further your professional
    endeavors, like the Career Fair and informational sessions, there are plenty of
    helpful sources available to you online such as: </span><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/network/networking101/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Networking
    101</span></a><span>,
    </span><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/network/networking101/tips/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>10
    Effective Tips for Networking</span></a><span>, </span><span><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/network/informational-interviews/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Informational
    Interviews</a></span></p><p><span>Community work is always
    important and a bonus, and the <strong>Shriver</strong> <strong>Center</strong> has plenty of
    programs, mentorships, etc. that are based in vital civic duties/community
    service. Click </span><a href="https://shrivercenter.umbc.edu/programs-and-initiatives/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>here</span></a><span> to
    learn more about the Programs and Initiatives The Shriver Center sponsors!</span></p></div>

  <Title>Adjustments to Faculty Promotion Timelines and Processes</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>In recognition of the extraordinary circumstances we are experiencing, and in an effort to mitigate some of the impact on our faculty, including librarian faculty, we are instituting the following policy modifications related to the Promotion and Tenure (P&amp;T) process for current tenure-track and librarian faculty. Please note that this is an evolving situation and we know additional measures may be warranted and will be communicated.</div><div><br></div><h5>Modifications for Tenure-Track Assistant Professors</h5><div>Upon request, all Assistant Professors <em><strong>who have not yet</strong> undergone third-year contract renewal</em> will be granted a one-year extension for their contract renewal review. Per UMBC’s usual protocol, Assistant Professors who request this extension and successfully complete their third-year contract renewal will be automatically granted a one-year extension for their promotion and tenure review.</div><div><br></div><div>Upon request, all Assistant Professors <em><strong>who have successfully completed</strong> their third-year contract renewal</em> will be granted a one-year extension for their promotion and tenure review.</div><div><br></div><div>Requests should be submitted to your department chair and will be forwarded via the Dean to the Provost for final action.</div><div><br></div><div>Assistant Professors who are scheduled for third-year contract renewal or for promotion and tenure review during academic year 2020-2021 are asked to submit their request on or before <strong>April 21, 2020</strong>.</div><div><br></div><h5>Modifications for Associate Professors Hired without Tenure</h5><div>Upon request, all Associate Professors hired without tenure will be granted a one-year extension of their scheduled tenure review. Requests should be submitted to your department chair and will be forwarded via the Dean to the Provost for final action. Associate Professors without tenure who are scheduled for tenure review during academic year 2020-2021 are asked to submit their request on or before <strong>April 21, 2020</strong>.</div><div><br></div><h5>Modifications for Librarian I Faculty</h5><div>Upon request, all Librarian I faculty <em><strong>who have not yet</strong> undergone promotion review</em>, will be granted a one-year extension of their scheduled promotion and permanent status review. Requests should be submitted to the Director of the Library and will be forwarded to the Provost for final action.</div><div><br></div><h5>Modifications Related to the Use of Spring 2020 Teaching Evaluations in P&amp;T for all Tenure-Track, Tenured, and Full-Time Instructional Faculty</h5><div>Spring 2020 Student Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ) <strong><em>may not be used for any evaluative purpose</em></strong> for the P&amp;T review of any tenure-track, tenured, or full-time instructional faculty member, including scheduled third-year contract renewals of pre-tenure faculty. This includes Assistant Professors being considered for promotion and tenure to the rank of Associate Professor, Associate Professors undergoing review for promotion to the rank of Professor, Lecturers undergoing review for promotion to the rank of Senior Lecturer, and Senior Lecturers undergoing review for promotion to Principal Lecturer.</div><div><br></div><div>Spring 2020 SEEQs may not be included in P&amp;T dossiers or used in any aspect of such promotion reviews now or in the future. The Provost will issue instructions to all relevant P&amp;T review bodies consistent with this policy modification. Faculty may wish to choose to reflect upon their Spring 2020 teaching experiences in their self-assessment; however, the absence of such reflection may not be considered a negative indicator of faculty performance.</div><div><br></div><div>See the Chancellor's <a href="https://covid19.umbc.edu/files/2020/03/Tenure_Memo_from_Jay_to_Presidents3.25.20.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">memo on Promotion and Tenure and the COVID-19 Public Health Crisis</a> (March 25, 2020) for additional information.</div><div><br></div><div><em>Provost Philip Rous</em></div></div>
