National Native American/American Indian Heritage Month: 

November

 The term "American Indian" incorporates hundreds of different tribes and approximately 250 languages. Starting in 1976 as Native American Awareness Week, the period was expanded by Congress and approved by President George H. W. Bush in August 1990 by designating the month of November as National American Indian Heritage Month. In his proclamation for 1996, President William J. Clinton noted, "Throughout our history, American Indian and Alaska Native peoples have been an integral part of the American character. Against all odds, America's first peoples have endured, and they remain a vital cultural, political, social, and moral presence." For more information, contact the Bureau of Indian Affairs, 202-208-3710.

Join Women Involved in Learning and Leadership (WILL), the Women's Center, Gender and Women's Studies, the McNair Scholars Program and the Honors College for this important, practical and enlightening workshop!

You've probably heard about the wage gap. You know, the part where men and women often get paid differently for doing the same job? The gap is even bigger for people of color and people with disabilities. What can you do, besides wringing your hands and hoping you don't fall in?

Learn to negotiate your salary, that's what! Women Involved in Learning and Leadership (WILL) along with the Women's Center, GWST, the McNair Scholars Program, and the Honors College is bringing another edition of $tart $mart to UMBC. This workshop will help you learn how to ask for what you're worth, even in this tight job market, and help you avoid one of the most common pitfalls for new employees: failing to negotiate that starting salary. Don't let this happen to you!

The workshop will be held November 5 from 5-8 in Sherman Hall B-Wing, Room 220, right next to the International Media Center. Dinner will be provided. Invest in your future today!

Please RSVP to Ruken Isik at ruken1@umbc.edu by Friday, October 31.

University of Maryland, Baltimore County Friday, Sep 19 2014, 06:00 pm
GLO Leadership Conference is designed specifically for leaders in the community to be more effective, and use this training platform and use this training platform to transform the community.

Testimonials from previous attendees: You guys changed my life, and with this change, I will change the world. Thank you guys so so much! I'll remember every word, every phrase, every concept that you guys taught me. I am now a leader, a leader you'll be proud of, a leader that will make an impact to this world. Thank you guys! (Youth Leadership Movement 2013) - Chris Hsu "Be inspired. Be inspiring." That pretty much sums up what I think about the conference. EVERYONE of you inspired me. You all genuinely shared your experiences as leaders, even personal struggles in life. All your skills, values, talents, achievements, inspirations and visions gave me different perspective on life. I guess my next task is to be a leader, oh no a legacy leader, and to be inspiring. 

This conference is being hosted by the UMBC Taiwanese Student Association.  For more information, contact their leaders on through the Student Life website's list of student organizations: http://osl.umbc.edu/orgs/ or click on the attached website.

Check out their social media campaign: #MyTopCollege
Forbes has launched a social media campaign called #MyTopCollege, which sounds like a fun opportunity for the UMBC community (e.g., OPAs, RAs, SGA reps, Honors College scholars, athletes, others) to share what makes us so distinct.

They write: "Every year Forbes ranks America’s Top Colleges based on graduation rate, student satisfaction, post-graduate success and student debt. This year we want to hear from the people who know colleges best. Students, faculty and alumni are invited to share photos, fun facts, traditions and quirks that truly happen only at their school for a chance to be featured in FORBES magazine and online as a 'Students’ Favorite Top College.'"

Here's an example offered by Forbes: "The Mesa is the place to be. SDSU is among the top 20 most diverse campuses in the country #MyTopCollege @Forbes pic.twitter.com/MNDoNoKWCj"

Please spread the word about this campaign! 

Encourage other students, staff and faculty to share images and messages about UMBC and tag them with #MyTopCollege, @Forbes and @UMBC.
