We are collaborating with the Accounting Club and Investing & Trading Club for an evening of games, friendly atmosphere, and a chance to connect with fellow students interested in economics, accounting, and finance.

Free pizza, snacks, and drinks will be provided. Stop by, bring a friend, and take a break with us. We hope to see you there!

We are writing to address a recent issue regarding an email that some of you may have incorrectly received, which welcomed you to UMBC as a new employee or new student worker and provided instructions on setting up your UMBC account. These emails were sent within the last week with the subject line of 'Your MyUMBC Account.' This email was sent in error to an unintended recipient group due to an internal mailing list issue.

Please note the following:

• No Action is Needed: If you are already a current student or employee, or if you received this email in error, please disregard the message. You do not need to take any action regarding the account setup instructions within that email.
• Account Safety: We want to reassure you that your existing UMBC accounts and personal information are safe and secure. This incident was purely a mailing error and was not the result of a security breach.

We want to thank those watchful individuals who reported these emails as potential phishing attempts. An unexpected email is a possible indicator of phishing, and we appreciate everyone who took the time to report it.

We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions regarding this notification, please feel free to reach out to our support team at UMBC's Help Service or 410-455-3838.

Thank you for your understanding. 

Sincerely,

Division of Information Technology

RAMADAN IFTAR DINNER

Join us for a special evening filled with good food, meaningful conversation, and community!

MARCH 4, 2026 5:30PM - 8:00PM THE SKYLIGHT ROOM

RSVP HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf6nSsfrah3ohltnnMCDcLg7zu6cn5-P6dz0IgGWcZRfhODpw/viewform

This event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.

In June 2024, Ghassan Taha was a Co-Investigator on the proposal, "The Stratosphere Troposphere Response using Infrared Vertically-Resolved Light Explorer (STRIVE)," led by Dr. Lyatt Jaegle' (University of Washington (UW)). STRIVE was among the four proposals selected for one-year mission concept studies. After that one year, NASA reviewed the four studies to select two that would implement new satellite missions.

On February 5, 2026, NASA selected the STRIVE mission along with the EDGE mission (Earth Dynamics Geodetic Explorer) as the two missions "for continued development as part of the agency's Earth System Explorers Program." The STRIVE website presents the questions the mission will aim to answer, addresses how the mission will help with preparing for extreme weather events, and how discoveries will serve society and the country.

Congratulations to Dr. Lyatt Jaeglé (PI, UW), Dr. Ghassan Taha (Co-I, 614/MSU), Dr. Paul Newman (Co-I, 614/UMBC), and the entire STRIVE team on being selected. Dr. Taha, as ARGOS algorithm lead, will develop and validate the Aerosol Radiometer for Global Observations of the Stratosphere (ARGOS) algorithm (ARGOS is one of STRIVE's "two advanced limb-viewing instruments, the other being ALICE). Dr. Newman's role is to "utilize STRIVE observations to examine the recovery of the ozone layer and stratospheric dynamics."
