Grad student Mid-Morning Coffee

Free Coffee and Donuts for Grad Students!The Commons : 329
This event will be taking place on March 16th, 2022, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

The semester is flying by, Spring Break is almost upon us! We at PROMISE realize that we haven't had an opportunity this semester to gather around, drink coffee, and eat donuts with you all! As such, we've decided to host an informal gathering at Commons 329 and hope you will join us. We will provide the coffee and donuts to share and invite you to stop to say hi and catch up with us and other graduate students.

We (Dr. Robin Cresiski and Yarazeth Medina) will be available to talk about the Grad Student and Postdoc Development Office (GSPD), PROMISE, the calendar of professional development events, our latest Netflix Binges, and hopefully, create even more of an opportunity for you to meet fellow grad students in other departments. We would love to help you develop a deeper sense of community here on campus. If you just feel like stopping for free coffee and a donut, you are more than welcome to do so as well! 

Please click on "Going" below so we can be sure to have enough coffee and donuts for all who plan to attend. 

As this is an in-person event, please RSVP so we can be sure we are following safety guidelines per UMBC. Additionally, if you must cancel, please be sure to do it within 24 hours of the event's occurrence. 
Please remember: Facemasks are required inside the building.

If you need any special accommodations or have questions, please contact Yarazeth Medina at yarazeth@umbc.edu

The GSA senate voted to submit testimony in favor of SB0118 (HB0751) to allow collective bargaining rights to University System of Maryland Graduate Assistants. Post-hearing testimony has been sent to all members of the MD Senate Finance Committee. The testimony bases its  support on advocacy from almost 100 UMBC graduate students in a poll of graduate students, in addition to offering support for graduate assistants on other campuses who have not reaped much benefit from the current meet and confer process. The written testimony can be found here.

Forms response chart. Question title: Please select your opinion on the Collective Bargaining Bill.. Number of responses: 95 responses.

Full poll results can be found here. 


Here is some of the general sentiment expressed by graduate students in support of the bill. 

"I believe that difference between the stipend and living standard cost is much more higher. One graduate student can not bear the living cost with the existing amount they are getting."

"I SUPPORT THE CBB because it empowers us to assert our needs should the university ever fail to address them. The fact that the school has tried to advocate against it shows that we need that security. Studies consistently show that GAs are better paid and have better benefits if they're unionized than if they aren't."

"I think we should have the right to be more involved in the negotiation of our reimbursement for the work we do on campus and for campus"

"Graduate students and GA's in particular consistently feel unsafe and undervalued in their contracts and have no where to go since we are 'trapped' by our desire to further our education. We also have no one to talk to since the chain of command goes to our supervisors and GPDs, which are not always sympathetic to our worries"

"Graduates should have the option to unionize as it will give us a voice and those with GAs in genera are not given enough support in the university."

Some of the sentiment by the minority against the bill:

"I don't see the need for a union, and I don't think unionizing is going to improve the quality of my experience at UMBC"

"I do not agree with this bill because it does not actually guarantee us anything. It doesn't seem worth it."

"-Potential to lose FICA exemption
-Potential to have health insurance premium increase (which is currently $0); our current health insurance is very good and not something I would want to lose. Also, as a graduate student, income from stipend is already low --having additional annual costs (e.g. insurance premiums) would make things even more difficult
-Potential decrease in graduate assistantships --this is already low and barely covers cost-of-living for most students"

For those interested in joining in support of the bill, the Fearless Student Employees will be having a rally in Annapolis to advocate for collective bargaining rights on March 15th, at 12:00 PM. Carpooling and RSVP here: https://forms.gle/qTq9Ktb7GCEZMYJr5
