On August 24, 2016, UMBC’s Office of Technology Development held its second UMBC Startup Round Table which was attended by about a dozen faculty who have or are planning to start a company.  Also in attendance were representatives from BwTech.  There was a great presentation from the law firm Rubin and Rudman LLP regarding the pros and cons of the different types of corporate organizations. 

In addition, UMBC/JCET faculty Lorraine Remer and Vanderlei Martins discussed their startup, Airphoton which is located in bwtech incubator space on the South Campus.   Guests remarked as they left how interesting the discussion was and how beneficial the discussion was to the group. 

UMBC’s OTD would like to thank the law firm Rubin and Rudman LLP and their representatives Judith Kim, Peter Finn, and Xiaoxiang Liu for the presentation, and bwtech for the use of their conference room.

UMBC Coat of Arms drawing, 1968. Coll 107, UMBC Historic Documents Collection, Folder 14. University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

Three years after UMBC first opened, students and faculty expressed their interest in creating a coat of arms for the developing school. One student, Arthur L. Kahn, wrote to Chancellor Albin O. Kuhn and offered him his own design which included the Maryland coat of arms, the UMBC retriever, and the year in which UMBC was founded (see image above). In his letter to Chancellor Kuhn, Kahn expressed his belief that creating an emblem or coat of arms for UMBC would "serve as a symbol in the college community, helping to display UMBC's individuality among other U of M branches in particular." Unfortunately, UMBC never developed a coat of arms but it has had, and continues to have, official logos and seals that represent the school.

Take the Quiz! Enter the raffle to win $500!

Welcome to Member to Member .. an informational bulletin to members of The Center

September is Campus Fire Safety Month

September is Campus Fire Safety Month and this year the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and  The Center for Campus Fire Safety (The Center) are hosting our second annual campus fire safety campaign. 

WHAT KIND OF COOK ARE YOU IN THE KITCHEN?

TAKE THE QUIZ AT:  www.campusfiresafety.org/cooking

Students ... Take the Quiz between September 1 and September 30, 2016. 

PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION TO YOUR STUDENTS TO TAKE OUR QUIZ. RULES

Two students will be randomly selected to receive a $500. American Express Gift Card for participating in the quiz.

If you are a fire safety educator, tools to promote this contest and additional fire safety tips for Campus Fire Safety Month can be found at: www.campusfiresafety.org/cooking and www.nfpa.org/campus

The Campus Fire Safety Month Quiz & Sweepstakes helps to raise awareness among college-aged students who live in on-and off-campus housing about the dangers of cooking fires.  Students have access to kitchens and make meals using stoves, ovens or other heating appliances have the opportunity, through an interactive quiz, to recognize unsafe practices and learn appropriate ways to cook meals that will reduce the risk for injury and damage caused by fire.

“With more access to kitchens, students are making more meals or snacks using stoves and ovens, often for the first time and without proper training,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy for NFPA. “The campaign encourages students living on- and off-campus to know the risks and the preventative actions that can save their lives.”

According to Michael J. Swain, president of The Center for Campus Fire Safety, encouraging students to share this information with their peers will send a strong fire safety message that will be remembered going forward. “With the beginning of the school year,” he says, “The Center continues its mission to make campuses and off-campus housing safer for students. We were pleased to see there were no student deaths in the 2015-2016 school year.”
