Submit your recipes by March 31st



Last year’s cooking competition was a massive success, so why not do a second season?!




Anyone can participate as long as you’re affiliated with UMBC! Students, professors, faculty, club, doesn’t matter.


Qualification: Just like last time, your submission must consist of 1 appetizer and 1 entree. While last year was exciting, to make it a little more interesting, your team must consist of 2 dishes with one of them being strictly vegetarian. In terms of the grading rubric, your recipe’s creativity, detail, ingredients, flavor and texture, and your use of a Retriever Essentials ingredient will determine if you’re picked! For further understanding, see the rubric here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rp_dEAJYi2adqa5CtCWDe5RoJMDNsXZb0QONuPvlUM4/edit?usp=sharing


Submit your recipe ideas through the link listed below. 3 teams will be selected consisting of 3-4 people. You will have until March 31st, 2024 to sign up and the actual cooking competition will be held at True Grits on Thursday, April 25th from 4:00pm-6:00pm.

https://forms.gle/yc2udJYHoerHc4MW6


Important: When you submit, PLEASE have a P.O.C (Point of Contact). This person will be the source of communication between Chartwells, us, and most importantly, your team! Unless 


Notice (Super Important): On that day specifically, if you bring in a donation of any canned goods, snacks, etc. you can get into True Grits completely free. However, there are some things we can not take. These include…

  • Already eaten or opened food

  • Prepared food

  • Cans that don't have labels of what they are

  • Rotten/Spoiled food (Obviously)


If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Michael at mfakus1@umbc.edu


Again, here’s the link to sign up! Remember you have until the end of March 31st!

BreakingGround Info Session for Faculty and Staff
Friday, March 1, 2024, 12 - 1 PM
Hosted by the Center for Democracy and Civic Life 

The BreakingGround initiative awards grants of up to $2,500.00 to UMBC faculty, staff, and students to implement educational and community-building courses and programs that foster civic agency: the capacity to initiate and make meaningful contributions to social change.

In this virtual information session, we will review the program and answer your questions. To register for this session, go to the Center for Democracy and Civic Life's event here. 

The options for using these funds are flexible, but some ideas include: experiential learning opportunities for students, student and community-engaged research projects, time to design deep transformations of existing curricula to be oriented toward civic agency, and resources for engagement with social changemakers and local communities. For a list of previous awardees, see here.


For more information and to apply, visit our website at this link. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis, and when you apply, we will contact you within two weeks of submission.

UMBC and all USMAI Libraries to migrate to Ex Libris' Alma and Primo systems over Spring 2024

This spring, UMBC along with the 17 libraries across the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI) will be implementing a new integrated library system (ILS), Alma, that will go live on May 23, 2024. Throughout the spring, our migration task force will be working to replace the current system, which has been in place for over 20 years.


An integrated library system manages the basic functions of a library, such as checking library materials in and out, keeping track of orders and subscriptions, and providing the infrastructure that allows library users to search and access library materials. This system migration is a huge step forward, and will help modernize UMBC's current functionality and usability, increasing cooperation with other systems across our campus and with other academic institutions across the state. 


A new discovery service will power the AOK OneSearch, and it will streamline search functions and your access to local resources and scholarly research. You will notice more features that will allow you to more easily manage your loans, requests, and citations. Keep an eye out for a preview of the search interface in the coming months. 


We will be providing updates as the project continues throughout the spring especially with information on any temporary service changes or suspensions as the new system is prepared. If you have any questions please reach out to aok@umbc.edu
