Dear Graduate Students,

On behalf of the Strategic Plan Steering Committee, I invite you to share your perspectives on UMBC's strategic plan via this survey. The survey includes five sections, each aligned with one of the university's strategic pillars. As a reminder, the pillars are: 
  • Cultivate organizational innovation and vitality
  • Redefine excellence in research and creative achievement
  • Strengthen Maryland and its communities
  • Advance student opportunity and success
  • Transform teaching and learning

You can choose which sections you would like to complete based on your interests and experiences. The survey is also designed to capture additional ideas you may have for strengthening these five focus areas. Please note that each section of the survey will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes to complete and all responses are anonymous and confidential.

We also invite you to visit the strategic planning website for current information, including a new feedback form now available on the home page. 

Finally, as our pillar subgroups prepare to introduce their engagement activities, be sure to follow the myUMBC Strategic Planning group for information about scheduled engagement events. We will also continue to email the UMBC campus community about additional opportunities to engage in the planning process.

We hope that you will complete the survey by Tuesday, April 7. Your insights, ideas, and feedback are essential as we continue the planning process.

Thank you for your support.

Regards,
Charissa S. L. Cheah
Professor, Psychology and Asian Studies Affiliate Faculty
Chair, Strategic Plan Steering Committee

Dear UMBC Community,

We write to you today to share the following updates and reminders.

We distributed federal immigration enforcement cards across campus. The card and related FAQs are available on our Federal Orders and Actions website. The cards have been printed in English and Spanish and have been distributed to locations such as the Center for Global Engagement and the Mosaic Center.

The Office of General Counsel created a guide for supervisors and employees whose departments may be visited by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The purpose of these visits is to verify information in certain employment-based visa petitions, such as those supporting H-1B employees. The USCIS immigration officers may take photographs of the workspace, review documents, speak with the sponsored employee, and interview other personnel to confirm the employee's work location, hours, duties, etc. It is important to note that these are fact-finding visits, not ICE enforcement operations. Please refer to the guide for instructions on what to do if your department is visited by a USCIS immigration officer.

David Di Maria, vice provost for global engagement, shared an email, "Responding to International Incidents," on Friday, March 6. The email details how UMBC monitors and responds to international incidents and the resources provided to our community. We encourage you to review this email to be aware of how UMBC supports our community during these times.

Finally, here is an update on our Division of Research and Creative Achievement grants and budget for this year: 

If you have any questions about this information, please reach out to a member of the Federal Orders and Actions Team.

Thank you.

Below you will find the current list of candidates with all of their approved endorsements for the SGA 2026 Elections. This list includes endorsements approved through 9:30am on March 27th. We will continue to make endorsement updates as they are approved by the Election Board Chair. 

Please note there are three kinds of possible endorsements:
  • Individual endorsements by an officer of a student organization;
  • Student organization executive board endorsements (meaning, at a minimum, the president, vice president, and treasurer of the student org endorse the candidate);
  • Student organization endorsements (meaning at least the majority of the student org membership endorses the candidate).
As a result, you'll see different types of endorsements under the names of candidates. Some endorsements supersede others. If, for example, a student org officer endorsed a candidate and that entire student org/their executive board also endorsed the candidate, you will not see a separate line for the individual officer as they are implicitly included within a full org/eBoard endorsement.

Want to submit an endorsement? You can do so at this link. You must be an officer of a recognized UMBC student organization to be eligible to submit an endorsement.
