REMINDER: RRStor and ada storage maintenance
To all users,
A reminder that we are beginning our scheduled downtime for the storage servers for both ada and RRStor. During this time, ada-rstor storage (volumes under /umbc/ada) will be briefly unavailable, and users of the RRStor ceph storage server (volumes under /umbc/rs) may see short interruptions or slower performance.
Separately, the server hosting ada-rstor is aging hardware that is no longer under warranty, so we will need to migrate data off its storage volumes to newer, supported systems in the near future.
As always, remember to submit any issues you have here:https://rtforms.umbc.edu/rt_authenticated/doit/DoIT-support.php?auto=Research%20Computing
And check out our documentation here:https://umbc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/faq/pages/1082589207/UMBC+HPCF+-+chip
Best,
Max

Teaching Fellows for Humanities Scholars Seminar
We are announcing this year's call for applications to teach the first-year seminar for the Humanities Scholars Program (HSP). The Humanities Scholars Program provides educational opportunities and strong support for learning, research, and civic engagement to talented young students who, over time, will have an impact on the intellectual life of the campus and make significant contributions to society through the Humanities. The first-year seminar encourages undergraduate scholars to become independent thinkers who examine cultural products and practices from a multitude of perspectives and to become engaged and committed humanists.
We invite applications from all UMBC instructional faculty to become Humanities Teaching Fellows for Spring 2027. Fellows will work in pairs to devise a co-taught, one-semester, interdisciplinary seminar for the first-year Humanities Scholars. Applications, in the form of a brief, emailed description of the proposed seminar, are due on April 15. Faculty may apply individually or in pre-arranged pairs. Proposed seminars may be revised or adjusted after submission so long as the general subject area meets the approval of the HSP Director.
Instructors are compensated with a $5,000 stipend or funds for one course release, payable to you home department.
If you'd like to chat about ideas or have questions, please email Kate Drabinski, Director of the Humanities Scholars Program, at drabinsk@umbc.edu.
We have extended the deadline for the UMBC Annual Research Symposium to April 2nd, 11AM! Featuring poster presentations showcasing research from all colleges at UMBC, this is a great opportunity to share ideas, engage with research from across campus, and connect with fellow scholars.

UMBC mechanical engineering senior and Meyerhoff Scholar Caly Ferguson was selected for the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) "25 Under 25" award in March 2026 based on his research and service. The award specifically recognizes young professionals and students who demonstrate outstanding leadership, innovation, and community advancement.
Since his freshman year, Ferguson has been conducting research in CSEE Professor Ramana Vinjamuri's lab, where he is helping to develop a prosthetic forearm and hand that uses machine learning to interpret electrical nerve signals from the arm and translate them into specific movements. Caly served as the finance chair of the UMBC NSBE chapter and became its president at the beginning of the 2025-2026 academic year.
