Retriever Essentials FAQs:
Q: Do you have [food/toiletry item] in stock?
A: Maybe! Currently, it's hard to predict what we will have, but we make an effort to stock toiletries, frozen meat and veggies, milk, gluten-free items, ready-to-eat meals, and even baby items as often as we can. We can't guarantee any one item will be available, but there's always a variety of items to choose from.

Q: What are the eligibility requirements to get food at The Essential Space, Free Farmer's Markets, and Food Zones?
A: None! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come. We know financial decision-making is complex, so come fill up or just drop by to check us out. We won't ask you for any documentation.

Q: If I get food and toiletries from The Essential Space, won't I be taking it away from someone who needs it more?
A: No, we have enough to go around. Our community has generously provided items to us so we can redistribute them to you to make your semester just a little bit easier. As a student and a human being, you're entitled to a filling and nutritious diet.

Q: How often can I come to The Essential Space?
A: As often as you want to. Welcome!

Want to volunteer? Retriever Essentials, AOK Library, and So What Else are partnering up again this semester to bring you Free Farmer's Markets! 

NEW LOCATION
Due to the cold weather, AOK Library has graciously agreed to let us use the loading dock for this event through March. To find the loading dock: from inside the library, exit through the front doors. Turn left and walk alongside the building (past the RLC, toward the parking lot). Turn left at the end of the building and you will see a driveway. That's the loading dock. If you would like a nearby pin in Google Maps, search for 1046 Walker Ave, Baltimore, MD 21250.

The event starts at 2:15 PM and lasts until 3 PM or until food runs out. 

**Bring your own bag!**

Volunteers: to volunteer, you must sign up here. Please plan on being present from 1:45 to 3:15.

Please note that fresh produce will be limited during the colder months and will be substituted with shelf-stable/non-perishable items.

The Collective Bargaining Bill is just round the corner, and we - the Graduate Student Association (GSA), want to know your stance on the bill. This survey's purpose is to understand how graduate assistants (GAs) at UMBC are currently feeling about their financial situation, including things such as housing, routine expenses, and GA benefits in relation to the current bill that will allow USM GAs the right to unionize. If you are unaware of the Collective Bargaining Bill or need a refresher, please go through this resource pack, especially curated for your reference.
  • The bill that was proposed last year is linked here. 
  • A factsheet created by students at UMD can be found here.
  • UMBC GSA's statement from last year can be found here.
Please note that you have the freedom to skip any optional questions in this survey if you do not feel comfortable responding to it. This survey is strictly anonymous. This information will be used to help the GSA in its efforts to advocate for GAs and other graduate students at UMBC. 

Completing this survey will enter you into a raffle to receive one of three $25 UMBC bookstore gift cards.

In his review, Dr. George Northrup writes, "In the inexhaustible senryu factory of Robert Deluty’s mind, supply chains are never the problem.  There is always abundant material on hand for yet another wry and expertly crafted survey of the human condition.  He sprinkles creativity on every page with rollicking abandon, wide-ranging intelligence, keen empathy for the endless variations of human confusion, and the hilarious yet compassionate perspective we have grown to admire.  It is no accident that his poems arise in the context of our connections to others—to quirky relatives of every stripe and to the adorable world of children’s innocent questions and observations.  At the outset, an epigraph from Carl Rogers is followed by a Deluty senryu noting that the letters in the word poetry can be extracted from the word poverty, reminding us that joy and its devoted companion, humor, don’t depend on finding a more suitable planet than the troubled one we inhabit. Embracing our brokenness, tears, and even suicide notes, Deluty once again points the way to a jubilant transcendence."

And in his appraisal of the book, Dr. Robert Epstein notes, "If the Japanese poet Senryu hadn’t created the form named after him a few hundred years ago, we would be calling these light-hearted, satirical poems Delutyu today. Why? Because, with sixty-five books to his name, Robert Deluty has mastered the short form poetry that exposes our human foibles to the world with exceptional perceptivity. In Watching, Listening, Deluty brings to bear his powers of observation in poems that hold a mirror up to our self-preoccupation, prejudices, blind spots and much more. Sit back and enjoy a hilarious and poignant comedy routine."

"Watching, Listening" may be purchased at selected bookstores in the Baltimore/DC area or may be ordered by emailing Dr. Deluty at <deluty@umbc.edu>.
