Returning Women Spotlight: Carrie Cleveland What's it like to be a non-traditional student?
The Women's Center exists to assist all women in achieving their full potential in education, career, and personal life through academic and intellectual growth, professional development, and personal empowerment. One of the ways we work to achieve this mission is in our support services and programs for Returning Women (undergraduate students over the age of 25). The Women's Center supports these students through a peer mentoring program, targeted events and forums, and scholarship opportunities. If you’re interested in learning more about the Returning Women’s meetings or scholarships, contact us at womens.center@umbc.edu. 

Who are you?
Carrie Cleveland. Social Work major, mother of three daughters, ages 9, 6, and 2.

What benefits have you experienced as a Newcombe Scholar?
I've found a community at UMBC. Being part of an amazing group of women (as a member of the Returning Women Scholars) who have such different life experiences has opened my eyes to the unique set of challenges that we all face as students. It also has made me want to share those challenges with others and make sure that we are represented on campus as well. 


What do you wish traditional students knew about being a non-traditional student? 
We are here for the same reason you are -- to learn. Our path may have been different (I usually say I took the long and windy road) but we want the same thing. 

What do you wish professors and the university knew about being a non-traditional student? 
Just because I may be older than you does not mean that I don't see value in your teaching. I appreciate you knowledge and wisdom. Also, I may miss class because I have a sick kid who can't be left in daycare or with a sitter. Believe me, I want to be in class learning but sometimes it is just not possible. 

What is one piece of advice you would offer to new non-traditional students at UMBC?
Jump in! Talk to everyone. Join things. Find your people! My professors have always appreciated my participation in class, even if it's different than a younger student's may be. When I was looking to get involved on campus, I spoke to one of my teachers, Dr. David Hoffman, who understood my circumstances, but knew my passion too. He helped me find the right group of people to get involved with, which has made me love my time at UMBC even more.

National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipends support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources. Successful applicants receive an outright award of $6,000 to support two consecutive months of full-time research during summer 2015.  UMBC may submit up to two nominations for this award.  The CAHSS Dean’s Office, the Office of the Vice President for Research, and the Dresher Center for the Humanities will work as appropriate with the two nominees selected as they prepare their applications to the NEH.

Instructions to Faculty

Review the guidelines  here   and submit the following materials to Scott Casper, Dean of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences by Monday, September 8, 2014.

In addition to the quality of the application, criteria for selection will include the likelihood that the award will have a significant impact on the faculty member’s program of scholarship and that the work proposed for the fellowship period can be completed. Secondary considerations will be whether the individual has other available sources of support for the proposed work (e.g., support from UMBC or another sponsor) and whether the individual is concurrently being nominated for or applying for other awards.

Rebuilding Manhood Applications are now available! 


What do you enjoy about being a man? What do you wish was different?
What does it mean to be a man? When and how did you learn to become a man?

In a safe (and brave) space you will discuss gender roles, norms/variations, and build a healthy, multifaceted masculinity with other UMBC undergraduate men. Through the facilitation of UMBC staff members and a peer facilitator, you will discuss topics related to being a man parallel to other important social identities and explore ways you can be an effective ally for yourself, women, and others.

Rebuilding Manhoodis an 11-week commitment. The group will meet once a week on Fridays from 2-3:15pm beginning Friday, September 12, 2014.  Group members are expected to make all meetings and are asked to commit to some outside reading (20-30 minutes a week).

The Women's Center is excited to expand our Returning Women Students Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program which was in its pilot year last fall. 

This program connects newer returning* women undergraduate students one-on-one with more experienced returning women undergraduate student mentors who strive to provide them with personal, academic, and professional support and guidance. 

In addition to building the individual relationships between the mentoring partners, all participants attend a welcome orientation (on Thursday, August 21st from 12-3pm) and participate in various workshops and events. All participants are also encouraged to attend Returning Women’s Forum events and other Women’s Center programming.

What are the benefits of being a Peer Mentor?
Are there things you know now that you wish you had known as a new student at UMBC? This is your chance to use your experience and insight to help guide a new student’s transition to UMBC!
Mentors will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills while networking across disciplines. The peer-to-peer mentoring relationship is mutually beneficial, as the act of mentoring is a valuable exercise in professional development. 

Apply to be a mentor: tinyurl.com/ReturningWomenMentorApp

What are the benefits of being a Mentee?
As  new(er) UMBC students, mentees have the benefit of learning things that can take a year or more to discover. Mentees will have a resource to turn to when they don’t know whom else to ask and their mentor will be able to provide honest and open feedback. Mentees are matched with their peer mentor for the full academic year.
