University Committees Ranking Give feedback by Nov. 23rd
As many of you are aware, various groups have given graduate students a spot at the table when discussing a large variety of issues, ideas, and policies across the university.

On the form linked here is a list of these groups we are welcome to attend. Please rank them on the above form from least important to you (1) to most important to you (5). 

They're titled in a descriptive way, but if you'd like more information have a look through the GSA Webpage on Shared Governance Committees. 

This form will close on Friday, November 23rd. 

Help us to figure out what groups are most important to graduate students to have representation on. We will share the results via email and also discuss *briefly* at the next Senate Meeting on December 3 in UC 312. 

Please take a few moments to complete this and let us know if you have any questions (Email: gsa@umbc.edu).

Dear Graduate Students,

In early Spring 2019, the Legislative Concerns Committee will travel to the state capital to advocate for policies that affect UMBC graduate students. This year, we hope to concentrate on three to five bills/issues. By lessening the number of bills/issues that we focus on, our meetings at the state capital more efficient and effective. As such, we need your input to help us determine what issues/topics we should focus on. 

Here is the Legislative Issue Survey. Please read the instructions carefully. You will need to be logged into you my.umbc account to take the survey but all responses are anonymous (we are not collecting email addresses). I will close the survey on December 2nd at 12:00 PM 

Feel free to contact the Legislative Concerns Chair, Kiki Malomo-Paris,  if you have any questions,

Thank you,
The Legislative Concerns Committee

Commuter Assistants needed! Apply by November 28th!
OCSS seeks motivated, intelligent, passionate, hardworking, and dedicated undergraduate students to employ as Commuter Assistants. These students will serve as advocates for commuter students on the UMBC campus. They will also assist with the retention of those students at UMBC through a series of well thought out programs and events. Commuter Assistants will also assist with administrative work within the OCSS office.

So what is a Commuter Assistant? What do they do?

Commuter Assistants 
Commuter Assistants connect commuter students to the greater campus community. OCSS, along with Commuter Assistants, work to prevent commuter students from experiencing the age-old commuter tale of simply going to class and going home. With several events every semester, our Commuter Assistants organize fun, yet educational events where students can socialize with other commuters, connect with staff and faculty, as well as learn about on or off-campus resources.

Commuter Assistant Duties
  • Support Off-Campus Student Services by working in the front office weekly.
  • Serve as a role model to off-campus and on-campus students. 
  • Organize programming and services as part of the Commuter Assistant team and collateral project.
  • Assist in development of a sense of community among commuter students.
  • Assist with other Off-Campus Student Services events as needed, including, but not limited to Commuter Week, Commuter Connections, and Welcome Week.

Commuter Assistants must maintain a 2.5GPA prior to and during employment with OCSS.

Training
OCSS Commuter Assistants must attend training sessions prior to the spring semester. Student staff will be expected to assist during Welcome Week- the last weekend before classes. Student staff will work an average of 5-10 hours per week, as well as attend weekly team specific meetings on Fridays at 12pm. If you are unable to attend the training or meet this time commitment, you cannot serve as an OCSS Commuter Assistant.

The Lutheran-Episcopal Campus Ministry, in partnership with Retriever Essentials and the Mosaic Center, will be hosting a forum discussion tonight from 5:30pm-7p in the Skylight Lounge on "Respecting the Dignity of Every Human Being."

The panel will include:


We're living through a time when respect seems to be disappearing.  Come and hear religious and cultural perspectives on how we can and should cultivate respect for our neighbors, even when we may disagree with their views and their actions.  

Respect is the cornerstone of justice. Let's work together to create a more inclusive UMBC community.

Hope to see you tonight at 5:30pm in the Skylight Lounge! Refreshments will be served.
