GAAC Meet and Confer w. CAHSS Deans and Department Chairs
CAHSS GAs, It's time to voice your concerns !!!
What is Meet and Confer (M&C)?
Meet and Confer (M&C) is a policy within the University System of Maryland (USM) that allows Graduate Assistants to participate in formal discussions with the administration regarding employment-related matters, including compensation and benefits. To learn more about M&C, please visit the
UMBC website.
M&C Meetings- Spring '24
This year, we have adopted a new approach by organizing separate M&C meetings for each college at UMBC. This strategy is designed to address specific issues facing Graduate Assistants within individual colleges and departments in a more focused manner. Additionally, we have extended invitations to department chairs to ensure that department-level administration actively participates in resolving GA-related concerns, in collaboration with graduate school administration.
The
CAHSS M&C Meeting is scheduled for April 15th, and we strongly encourage all
GAs from CAHSS Departments to complete
the survey. Your input will allow you to voice your concerns and issues to the Graduate Assistant Advisory Committee, who will present them at the M&C meetings for discussion and resolution.

Do you want to see changes to the UMBC academic calendar?
The faculty have been considering changes to future academic calendars, and there is both need and widespread desire for some change, such as the addition of a fall break. At the same time, for certain course schedules, we are currently out of compliance with the minimum 750 minutes per credit hour students need to be in class for our accreditation.
But what changes would work best for the most stakeholders?
There will be no changes this fall, but if you would like to see particular changes in future, please reach out to your Graduate Program Director (GPD) to share your perspective. The Faculty Senate President will reach out to the GPDs to find out what we want and need so that the faculty may take that into account when making future decisions.
Of course, we cannot simply take away 1-3 days of class during the semester without adding some way(s) to make up for the lost time. Two proposals that the faculty did not choose to institute this fall are discussed in the attached document, to give you an idea of the kinds of possibilities that have been suggested so far. When you reach out to your GPD, be sure to include your answers to the questions below:
Would you like to see any changes to the academic calendar (such as the addition of a fall break, the addition of a day off the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and/or other changes)? Which specific changes are most important to you and why? What would you be most willing & able to accommodate in exchange (e.g., semester starts a few days earlier and/or ends a few days later, time between classes reduced to 10 minutes, addition of 1 makeup session on a Friday evening for classes on certain days of the week)?
Thank you for speaking up!

REMINDER: unseen Documentary 3/14 at 4:30 PUP 105
Blind, Undocumented, and Launching into Social Work
Join ADS, SDS and Social Work for the UMBC (free) screening of unseen, an award-winning documentary described as:
Most people dream of a better future. Pedro, an aspiring social worker, is no different. But as a blind, undocumented immigrant, Pedro faces political restrictions to obtain his college degree, secure a job in his field, and support his family. As he finally graduates, uncertainty looms over Pedro. What starts as a journey to provide mental health care for his community ultimately transforms into Pedro’s path towards his own healing.
Through experimental cinematography and sound, UNSEEN reimagines the accessibility of cinema, while exploring the intersections of immigration, disability, and mental health.
When: Thursday March 14, 2024 at 4:30p
Where: Public Policy 105
Prepare for an experience that will leave you talking long after the credits roll - and may influence matters of inclusion, immigration, health care, public policy, film design, and raise your awareness of how people engage with the world.
Audience dialogue with Social Work faculty and ADS staff to follow the film.
The Public Policy Lecture Hall is on the first floor, has accessible seating, and a range of features that enhance accessibility for audiences. The film is captioned, and an audio-described version is available upon request. Mask use is very welcome. Please email any accommodation requests and event inquiries to slazar@umbc.edu with "Documentary" in the subject line
Co-Sponsored by The School of Social Work and Human Context of Computing

Gathering Space: Spring Holiday 2024 Updates
Hello Gathering Space Community,
Here in The Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being, we are preparing for a busy Spring Holiday Season. Within the next 4-6 weeks, students and student organizations on our campus will be celebrating a large variety of religious holidays, including (but not limited to) Passover, Ramadan Easter, and Holi. As we approach this time of feasting, fasting, and holidays with deep significance for many in our community, this (rather long) email shares the ways that The Gathering Space is working to help host, work with, and celebrate students as they live into their spiritual and religious identities.
1) Gathering Space Hours will be adjusted during this Spring Holiday Season to accommodate student needs. During these increased hours, students will have access to CWB 103 (The Gathering Space), CWB 101, CWB 109, and the Lounge in the CWB. Here are the hours from Sunday, March 26th through Saturday, April 22. During this time, please do your best to share space, help clean after celebrations, and engage each other with
generous questions and listening.
| Space Hours |
| Sunday, Mar 10th: 12:00pm to Friday, Mar 15, 11:59pm |
| CWB is open 24 Hours |
|
*Space Closed for Spring Break (March 16-23)
|
|
Sunday, Mar 25th: 12:00pm to Thurs, Apr 11, 10:00pm
|
| CWB is open 24 Hours |
*Regular M-F, 8:00am-10:00pm & Su, 12:00pm-10:00pm hours will resume on Friday, April 12.
2) Upcoming Holiday Celebrations & Ways to Connect
*Please Note: more information about Easter & Passover/Pesach will be coming in a later email as these holidays approach (and more details get worked out!).
A) Ramadan
Ramadan begins today, Sunday, March 10th and will end Thursday, April 11th. To meet the needs of students breaking their fast and evening taraweeh prayers, CWB 103 (The Gathering Space) will be open during the times below. Campus Dining Services has made increased halal and suhoor food options available. Please see the attached flyer for more information. Food will also be available for suhoor in the kitchenette in The Gathering Space: Please reserve this food for community members wishing to eat before fasting.
| Gathering Space Open for Ramadan Usage |

|
| Tuesday: 7:00pm onwards |
| Wednesday: 7:30pm onwards |

i) For more information about iftars, events, please check out information and events posted on Instagram and/or MyUMBC hosted by the Muslim Student Association, Ahlul-Bayt Student Association, or the Ahmadiyya Muslim Students Association for Women.
ii) Taraweeh on Campus in The Gathering Space after Isha each night
iii) Open Iftar on Monday, May 25th @ 7:00pm in the Skylight Room
B) Holi
Holi will take place on Monday, March 25th, but is being celebrated on campus by the Hindu Students Council on Saturday, Mar 30th on Erickson Field at 1:00pm. From HSC's advertisement: Join UMBC HSC in celebrating Holi - the festival of colors. There will be free food, colors, and music! The event is open to everyone, we hope to see you there!" Check out HSC's instagram for more information!
3) Shared Events/Open Invitation (MARK THESE ON YOUR CALENDAR!)
Though many events during this holiday season are open to UMBC community members, two events are specifically aimed at bringing students, staff, and faculty together to learn, share food, and celebrate these Spring Holidays. Centering the values of Radial Love & Belonging and Energetic Pluralism that underlie the community that we are building in the Gathering Space, you are invited to:
I) Open Iftar in the Commons Skylight Room on Monday, March 25th @7:00pm; Come join UMBC's Muslim students by breaking the fast together! (Co-sponsored by i3b)
II) Join HSC for Holi on Saturday, March 30th from 1:00-6:00pm on Erickson Field! (with support by The Gathering Space)
4) Lastly, keep your eyes tuned to i3b's Instagram Account (@umbci3b) and our MyUMBC page for a series showcasing how students at UMBC are engaging with these Spring Holidays called "This is How I [Holiday]."
May this sacred time bring moments of rejuvenation, rebirth, charity, connection and hope as we welcome warmer weather, learn from one another, and embrace the energy of our shared, interfaith community.
See you around The Gathering Space!
