Windows 10 & El Capitan Upgrades to Lab Computers This Fall
Deadline for lab software requests for Summer is April 1
In Fall 2016, all lab and lecture hall computers will be upgraded to Windows 10 Educational and OS X El Capitan with Microsoft Office 2016 installed for each system as well.
Each semester, all lab and lecture hall computers are loaded with a standard set of software known as an image. By upgrading the computers to the latest operating systems, faculty will have to ensure their software is compatible with Windows 10 before making changes or additions to their software.
The request deadline for Summer 2016 is Friday, April 1. The request deadline for Fall 2016 is Sunday, May 1. It is important to note that if the request is not received by the deadline, we can not guarantee the requested software will be made available.
In order for software to be added to the lab & lecture hall image, DoIT requires:
1. Licensing documents such as End User License Agreements (EULA)
2. Technical support documents with technical requirements (including specific version of software requested), and installation and configuration instructions
You can submit this information through an RT ticket containing the required information. Alternatively, you may also contact 410.455.3838 and a Technology Support Center (TSC) staff member will assist you.
If you need software installed on the lab image for a one-time purpose for example, a 2-day workshop in which all users need access to the software, the request should be submitted no less than six (6) weeks prior to the first lab reservation for that class. The software will be removed once you are finished.
An email confirmation of the RT ticket will be sent to the requester once the software is installed, typically 1-2 week(s) before the first use of the software; faculty/instructors need to then test the software to ensure everything is working as expected for class. Support for the software is the responsibility of the instructor or department who requested that the software be installed.
Again, proof of purchase and/or license must be provided for as many copies as will be needed for the students in the class. We cannot install software without appropriate proof of licensing.
Although DoIT will make every effort to get all software packages to work, we can not guarantee that they will. Some packages may not function in our environment as they must coexist with many other applications. Additional information on this process can be found
here.

Getting Your Inbox to Zero by Jack Suess
UMBC’s Chief Information Officer shows how to tame Gmail
On March 9, 2016 DoIT’s
instructional team hosted a new event called
Techfest, an event that would bring the campus community together and present ways that technology can both support and improve the efficiency of day-to-day activities. One of the several panels being presented was by Jack Suess of DoIT, who gave his own personal tips & tricks to managing your Gmail.
Suess is no stranger to email, having setup the first email system here at UMBC in 1983. In an average week he receives about 1750 messages with an average of 300 per business day. Jack mentioned that he remembered hearing that President Teddy Roosevelt was a prolific letter writer, believed to have written 100,000 letters in his own lifetime. Suess noted that as of March 7th, 2016, he had 78,783 messages in his sent-mail folder that corresponds to his sent-mail since 2005 and is presently utilizing over 23GB of storage for his Gmail.
A 1995 issue of Computerworld. The article goes on to mention that back then Suess would get 1,200 emails a week and spend four hours a day just responding to them.
Here are Suess’ key tips for managing Gmail along with some video tutorials:
This helps automatically sort what type of emails you get into their own tabs. By clicking the gear icon in the top right of Gmail and then clicking “Configure Inbox” you can enable tabs for Social, Promotion and more. “When messages are mis-categorized, drag the message to the proper folder and gmail will learn that you want it here in the future,” said Suess.
2. Bulk deleting emails.
Key: In any of the new category tabs -- Suess demo’d in “promotions” -- the key is clicking the select box of one message and then holding the shift key & click to select everything from the first click. This allowed Suess to select 47 emails down the inbox at once to bulk delete in less than 20 seconds. Jokingly, Suess said “I know if I made a mistake in promotions I know I’ll get the promotion the next day.”
One feature some people might enable is priority inbox, which sorts your email based on highest priority rather than chronological order. While this can be a very powerful feature for people with limited time, Suess advised that it’s not for everyone. “I would propose to people is to never adopt priority inbox during a busy time. This would be something to do during a quiet period.” he said.
Located in Settings, Suess showed the Labs menu where Google displays experimental features that add more functionality to Gmail. One feature Suess has enabled is “Quote Selected Text” which quotes the text you have selected when you reply to a message.
He also shared a trick not found in Gmail itself.
Boomerang for Gmail is a separate download that allows you to schedule an email to be sent at a later time. “I can Boomerang a message to be sent out a week from now,” said Suess.
4. Vacation messages
Located in the Settings using the gear icon in the top right, Suess showed where to set vacation messages, how long you are gone and a custom message to send when someone emails you, or even limit this to just UMBC addresses. However, he also offered the ultimate email tip when you are on vacation. “Go to Hawaii as it’s 9 hours ahead, so by the time you’ve looked it’s most likely been resolved.”
5. Controlling your Inbox
Even with the volume of email he receives, Suess keeps his unread messages under twenty. He gave the following tips he uses:
* Use Categories, this makes it easy to move less important messages into categories outside your primary category. By doing this you can more quickly go through email and get rid of the messages you don’t want;
* Instead of leaving the message as unread if you want to go back to the message, use the star in Gmail to allow you to quickly identify messages you want to go back to;
* Use fewer labels -- Gmail has great search capabilities, by lessening the number of labels you use it makes it easier to file your email, Suess stated he uses only ten folders; and
* Use Gmail Tasks - For any email that requires a response that you can’t get done right away, use Gmail tasks. Under the Move button, there is a menu item Add to Tasks, by creating a task, the email is automatically linked to that task, you can set a date and link these tasks to your Google Calendar.

Archives Gold #24: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
Two UMBC Parking Passes from 1996 and 2005
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present two UMBC parking passes from 1996 and 2005.
Parking Passes, 1996 and 2005. University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
Previously in UMBC history, traffic and parking related issues were handled by the SGA who appointed a student run Traffic Court. The court met in the basement of Dorm II where it often dealt with reducing and waiving fines from parking violations on the UMBC campus. An
article in
The Retriever from 1972
details an upset UMBC Chief of Security because the SGA had not yet appointed a new student traffic court, leading to an overflow of 75 parking tickets awaiting action.

Dr. Reed has served as a PROMISE Mentor-in-Residence, and facilitator for the 2016 PROMISE roundtable on faculty diversity that was part of the Research Symposium at College Park. She notes the following:
As part of UMBC’s continued efforts recruit and retain a diverse and inclusively excellent faculty, we are actively seeking ways to improve departmental climate. Bringing the University of Michigan’s CRLT Players to perform “Navigating Departmental Politics” on March 31st from 10-12pm and from 4-6pm is central to our efforts. This interactive performance provides an opportunity for us to reflect and participate as community in a facilitated discussion on this topic.
THURSDAY, March 31, 2016
Performance #1: 10 AM – 12 noon
Performance #2 (Repeat): 4:00 PM – 6 PM
Location: University Center Ballroom, UMBC. Directions. The University Center (UC) is in the center of the campus. The Building houses the Chik-Fil-A and Starbucks cafes, on the first floor, the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences Dean’s Office, the English Language Center, and the Discovery Center. The ballroom is on the 3rd floor of the UC. The back of the UC leads to the Engineering Building. The front of the UC faces the Biology and Math/Psychology buildings on UMBC’s main walkway. The UC is adjacent to the Chemistry building.
The play (sketch) is based on events that occur during a faculty meeting. (See the CRLT description.) All members of our PROMISE community are invited to this event.

Archives Gold #23: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
President Hrabowski's Ralph Coats Roe Medal
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present the ASME Ralph Coats Roe Medal that current UMBC president Freeman A. Hrabowski was awarded last year.
Ralp Coats Roe Medal, 2015. UARC 2015-24, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
In November of 2015, President Hrabowski received the Ralph Coats Roe Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The ASME is a global engineering community of over 130,000 members, dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and improvement of life through engineering. President Hrabowski received the medal for "his dedicated service as a global advocate for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), engaging the general public, lawmakers, funding agencies and foundations to create opportunities for minorities in STEM fields that will help ensure their future personal and professional success."
To see the medal in person and learn more, visit our exhibit in Special Collections Presidents, Past & Present: A Biographical Portrait which explores the lives and leadership of UMBC's five university presidents and chancellors!

$2,996.32 Summer 2016 Dissertation Fellowship
Apply Now.
The UMBC Graduate School Dissertation Fellowship
Application Deadline: Friday, April 29, 2016
The Dissertation Fellowship is designed to provide doctoral candidates at UMBC an opportunity to devote the necessary concentration and attention towards finishing the writing of their dissertations. The Fellowship is specifically designed for students with full-time jobs off-campus, for those without any financial support who are making steady progress with their writing, and for whom having additional time and resources would permit them to complete the process more expeditiously. This Fellowship is not available as an option for students with available graduate assistantship support.
The Dissertation Fellowship could provide promising doctoral candidates with financial support so that they may reduce their current obligations and partially offset any reductions in salary or increases in expenses. No additional work assignments other than work on the dissertation are to be associated with this support.
Priority will be given to students who demonstrate that the Fellowship will allow them the needed time to complete their writing and to make revisions in time to defend the work within a realistic but expeditious time frame. Awards will be made to students who have demonstrated a commitment to provide at least 20 hours per week for an entire academic semester to writing the dissertation.
Dissertation Fellowship awards are available for Summer 2016. The duration of an award is for one semester. The maximum level of support for Summer is a total stipend of $2,996.32 per Fellowship plus tuition remission for two credits of 899.
To be considered for a Dissertation Fellowship, the Ph.D. candidate must:
- be in good academic standing;
- provide a letter of support from the Chair of the Dissertation Committee that
1) describes the state of the dissertation and the probable impact of receipt of the Fellowship on the progress toward completion; and,
2) verifies that no UMBC-administered financial support is available for the student;
- provide, if employed outside the university, written evidence from the student’s employer indicating the employer’s willingness to reduce job time and duties in order for the student to participate in the Fellowship;
- submit a dissertation abstract of no more than two pages in length; and
- submit a 1-2 page management plan signed by the Chair of the Dissertation Committee describing the status of the dissertation work, the steps required to complete the work, and the feasible time line for completion.
Applications for Summer 2016 Dissertation Fellowships will be accepted by the Office of the Associate Dean of the Graduate School until 4:30 p.m., Friday, April 29, 2016. A committee consisting of three members of the Graduate School Leadership Team will review applications and announce recipients of the Fellowship by May 13, 2016. Selection will be based on the extent of convincing evidence that the award will provide the critical element need to complete the dissertation
