#TeamGetItDone Gets it Done! DH Marathon SSI 2011

The 12 hour DH marathon at the 2011 Summer Success Institute started with 11 participants and ended with three triumphant women! Kudos to all who accepted the challenge, and special congratulations to Nikki, Maritza, and Patti, the last three standing!

The theme for the DH was #TeamGetItDone, based on a Twitter hashtag that was created and regularly used by DH members and Ph.D. candidates Sophoria “Nikki” Westmoreland (Mechanical Engineering, UM College Park), and Alexis Williams (Human Development, UM College Park). The energy at the DH at SSI was high and the participants worked hard! Congratulations to all!!

The 9th Annual PROMISE Summer Success Institute (SSI) was held at the Sheraton Town Center Hotel in Columbia, Maryland this past weekend. This year, we featured an outdoor component, hosted by Terra Trax from Arizona.  The team leader, Craig Imler, is an Outward Bound-trained facilitator, who has been leading retreats for PROMISE since 2004.  Many alumni mentioned that their turning points came “at Coolfont.” In past years, we’ve had PROMISE retreats at the Coolfont Conference Center in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, and at the Rocky Gap Conference Center in Cumberland, Maryland. This year, we brought the “Coolfont” and “Rocky Gap” experiences and our facilitator team to the SSI. This was the first year that we combined the SSI and the retreat.

A full list of activities can be found on the SSI’s website:

Information on seminars and workshops for 2011-2012 Dear New Graduate Students,

It was a pleasure to meet so many of you at the Graduate School's orientation on Monday, August 15. We look forward to meeting the rest of you at the evening orientation on Wednesday, August 24.  As promised, we are posting information about the upcoming seminars and workshops for 2011-2012. Here is the link:
http://promisesuccessseminars.wordpress.com/umbc-grad-student-success-seminars/


For starters, if you are a TA or interested in teaching at any point, please register for the Teaching & Learning Workshop that will be held next Friday, August 26.
Breakfast and lunch will be served. 
http://my.umbc.edu/groups/promise/events/7230

As part of that teaching workshop, Dr. Robert Deluty is presenting a lunch seminar on "Life/Work Balance."  You do not have to attend the teaching workshop to attend the lunch seminar, but you must register here: http://my.umbc.edu/groups/promise/events/7354 so that we can order a lunch for you.

Please join us for these professional development seminars. We seek to provide  holistic approaches to graduate education that supplement your disciplinary training with skills that you can use in graduate school and in your careers. More importantly, these workshops provide you with opportunities to build community among fellow graduate students, faculty, and staff.

In the last audit UMBC had a finding due to password management. UMBC utilizes the password model developed by the National Institute of Standards, 800-63. Over the last three years we have streamlined and improved this process. However, DoIT wants to make certain that we are in compliance and the best way to ensure that is to require a password change prior to the fall semester. We anticipate that for most people the password change process will take a few minutes of time. Starting the week of August 15th, when you access myUMBC or any web-based resource requiring your password, you will be notified that you must change your password. We know that there may be times you are trying to get something done quickly and have built into the password change process the option of deferring to change your password up to ten times. After the tenth time you will be placed in the password change process automatically. NOTE: If you changed your password in the prior 180 days you will be exempted from this mandatory password change. Also, as part of the password change process you will be required to select additional security questions that will be used in the event you forget your password and need to get it reset. We will also be asking for your cell phone number. As a precaution, we use your cell phone number to alert you via text message if your password is being reset. In addition, we will allow you to call into our user support from that phone number to get your password reset. This is very helpful for faculty and staff that may work off-campus and need there password reset. To support campus users we have developed two resources: How do I change my myUMBC password? https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867939 How do I setup my security questions to recover a forgotten password? https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867908 We appreciate your cooperation in this important audit activity. ]]> Last Updated : August 12, 2011 As part of preparation for the Legislative Audit of IT services at UMBC we are requiring all faculty and staff to change their password by October 11th, 2011.

One important change provides a new group category of institutional group. An institutional group must be requested by a staff or faculty member and allows you to "enroll" people in a group. A second change is that group news and group events are automatically added to your start page so they are easy to follow. Finally, if you are using Google calendar, we have now integrated the "Calendar" item in the dashboard with Google calendar. Hovering your mouse over the Calendar menu item will show your calendar for the day. Clicking the entry will open Google calendar.
