What are Writing Accountability Group, or WAGs at UMBC?
What: Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) are voluntary and facilitated by fellow UMBC graduate students
Who: WAGs are comprised of a group of graduate students (usually 4-8 participants per group) interested in developing writing habits and accountability
Why: Develop habits of writing every day for a short, manageable period of time by setting goals and being accountable to WAG peers
When: WAG groups meet once a week for 60-90 minutes for 10-12 weeks. The group finds a weekly time mutually convenient to all group members.
Where: The group decides on a mutually convenient location to meet, whether in person or online via WebEx or other video conferencing platform

What is a student ambassador?
PROMISE Student Ambassadors will primarily focus on promotion of PROMISE events within their colleges and programs via email, social media, and word of mouth. These events can range from professional development to community building through coffee and donuts (FREE coffee and donuts at that!). This goal of this program is to get the word out about the goals and activities of PROMISE to your fellow graduate students.
Ultimately, PROMISE aims to provide support and professional development to all graduate students, while building community, connection, and a sense of belonging at UMBC, particularly for students from underrepresented backgrounds. Unfortunately, in a recent survey, only 30% of graduate students had heard of PROMISE. As an ambassador, you will play a vital role in expanding our impact and cultivating our community. You will be many students' first source of knowledge of PROMISE events.
As a part of the PROMISE team, you will be able to ask questions, provide ideas and engage in discussions regarding professional development and how to build a sense of community and belonging at UMBC for graduate students. You will also be the first to learn about PROMISE events or workshops and will be available to respond to student questions and guide them to the proper contacts if necessary.
Why should I become a PROMISE student ambassador?
In addition to aiding in the promotion of PROMISE and PROMISE events, becoming a student ambassador provides an opportunity to increase your network on campus, develop and increase your professional social media presence, and receive a $400 stipend per semester.

This is Dr. Hrabowski’s last talk as UMBC President for the PROMISE AGEP program at UMBC. He has mentored hundreds of graduate students and successfully helped them finish their degrees at UMBC. He has celebrated every single dissertation defense with us and has been there every step of the way following on students hardships through the years; stopping to say hi to everyone on his way to multiple events and meetings, always asking how they are doing, when we talk about Dr. Hrabowski’s leadership approach we must say “it’s all about the people”. We’ll miss him dearly and we hope this event serves to honor his legacy at UMBC.
In the words of University System of Maryland (USM) Board of Regents Chair Linda Gooden: “People seek out Freeman’s advice because they understand that, in many ways, he’s set the standard for supporting students to success—and I mean all students: students from every background, every race and ethnicity, every income level. He’s set the standard for collaborative leadership and continuous organizational improvement.”
According to NSF data, UMBC is now the nation’s top producer of Black graduates who go on to obtain a Ph.D. in the natural sciences and engineering. All this has been thanks to the visionary leadership of Dr. Hrabowski and we hope you join us in this talk with a national leader in science and math education, to celebrate his more than 30 years of leadership in academia, let’s use this opportunity to help path our own leadership style and learn from one of the best. Looking forward to seeing you there.
If you need any accommodations or have questions please contact PROMISE Staff a promise@umbc.edu at least a week before the event date.
