Dear AAAFSC Members:

I'd like to share some information on a new affinity group for Staff and Faculty that Tory Williams in FDC is working to put together. Please share this email in your networks and complete the google form below to get in touch with Tory.

Many thanks,

Dear UMBC Staff and Faculty,

My name is Tory Williams, and over my 15-year relationship with UMBC I have held roles as a graduate student in biology, faculty member in education, and currently serve as staff in the Faculty Development Center. I am taking steps to establish a new affinity group in our campus community for Neurodivergent Staff & Faculty (and those interested in showing allyship toward this population).

Neurodivergent Staff & Faculty are those that identify as, but not limited to…autistic, ADHD/ADD, bipolar, learning disabled, cognitively disabled, Tourette Syndrome, epileptic, dyspraxic, OCD, etc. In alignment with the inclusive nature of both the Neurodiversity Movement and the Social Model of Disability, staff and faculty who self-identify under the neurodivergent umbrella are welcome, regardless of access to medical or professional diagnoses.

Per the helpful guidance of my faculty and staff peers at UMBC, my first step in building a Neurodivergent affinity group is to invite community members to share any expressed interest in joining such a group. Once I measure the collective need or desire for a group, my next step will be to invite interested parties to discuss plans for an executive committee and outlining bylaws.

If you are a current staff or faculty member at UMBC with potential interest in a neurodivergent affinity group, please click here to respond to this short google form.

If you are a student at UMBC with potential interest in a neurodivergent affinity group, you may also respond to the form, and your responses may encourage the development of a parallel student or cross-sectional group.

Thank you for your time and consideration,


Tory Williams, PhD (she/her)

Dear AAAFSC Members:
I am delighted to announce that AAAFSC's new chair, starting in fall 2022, for a term of 3 years, is Dr. Shuyan Sun. 


Please join me in congratulating Dr. Sun and (soon-to-be elected, board members) at AAAFSC's spring reception and celebrating the end of the term in the Commons Fireside Lounge on May 16, from 4:30-5:30pm. Refreshments will be served! We hope to see you there! A separate event announcement will follow soon.

Dr. Shuyan Sun is an Associate Professor of Quantitative Methods in the Department of Psychology. Her leadership and service focus on promoting minoritized/marginalized faculty on campus and across the University System of Maryland. As a member of the Faculty Senate Honors and Awards Committee since Fall 2017, Shuyan proactively advocates for faculty from groups that are underrepresented in honors and awards nominations. As an executive board at-large member of AAAFSC since its inception in 2015, Shuyan actively assists in programming and aids in recruitment of new members by regularly meeting with job candidates who identify with AAAFSC. Shuyan is interested in the AAAFSC chair position because she deeply cares about our community and believes in the power of advocacy and action we have as a group. As the chair, Shuyan will work with the executive board to (1) develop sustainable and accessible programming to enhance member engagement and sense of community, (2) cultivate connection, communication, and collaboration among members, (3) identify shared interests and priorities of our community, (4) develop short-term and long-term action plans to increase the visibility, recognition, and impact of our community.


All the best,

The AAAFSC board

Dear AAAFSC Members,

 

Please join us for our Spring 2022 Strategic Planning Meeting on April 20 from 4pm-5pm (virtual), where we will discuss the future of AAAFSC. During our meeting earlier this semester, the Executive Board discussed data around the numbers of Asian and Asian American faculty and staff on campus as provided in this race/ethnicity excel sheet. As a result, the Board identified some key areas of focus for AAAFSC to pursue moving forward:

 

  • Promoting Asian American faculty and staff achievements

  • Promoting and expanding Asian American leadership

  • Asking for more precision, clarity, and transparency with language around race because of how it is attached to resources. This is particularly unclear in the use of terms such as “underrepresented” or “unevenly represented” which seem to have targeted contexts.

  • Collecting more student data:

    • Asian American students broken down by college

    • Asian American students’s attrition/GPA/success

 

We welcome any feedback or additional concerns you would like to raise prior to and during the meeting as we continue the important work of supporting our Asian and Asian American community members.
